Hozu Stir Fry ~ World of Warcraft



The hozen are a monkey-like race that lives in Pandaria. 
They are mischievous pranksters native to Pandaria that "act like a group of 14 year old boys" running around together in the jungle, equipped with machine guns and weapons from the Horde, who will recruit this tribe to help fight their war. They are also found all over Pandaria, even in one of the dungeons. -wowpedia


You will need:



4 bananas, sliced
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp ginger
4 tbs butter
2 tbs soy sauce
2 c chicken stock
2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
sliced green onions


In a pan melt butter & add bananas, garlic, ginger, soy sauce & onions.


Saute until bananas are soft.


Add chicken stock (or water) and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
Until thickens.


Cook rice according to package directions. Add cooked chicken and vegetable. 
(I used peas but any can be substituted.)

Bitter Plasma




You will need:





1 cup uncooked white long-grain rice
5 cups water
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup white sugar




Pour the rice and water into the bowl of a blender; blend until the rice just begins to break up, about 1 minute.




Strain the rice water into a pitcher and discard the rice. 




If you have any rice that slips through, use a coffee filter to strain the smaller pieces.




Stir the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar into the rice water. Stir the cinnamon for a few minutes until most of it is incorporated.




Chill and stir before serving over ice. The cinnamon will float to the top when it sits for a while. A quick shake or stir will fix it right up.

It has a cool, cinnamon refreshing flavor to it.
Yum!

Stuffed Chyntuck


Stuffed Chyntuck - Chyntuck is an onion-like vegetable found on Kashyyyk that is stuffed with meat and then baked. 




2 large sweet onions
1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cuip breadcrumbs
1 cup beef broth
1/2 c white rice
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg




Peel onions and cut 1/2 in. off tops and bottoms.
Place onions in a large saucepan. Cover with boiling water. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes; drain.




Cool slightly. I dunked them in ice water for a minute so they wouldn't be too hot to handle -now. Carefully remove inside layers of onion, separating into eight individual shells (refrigerate remaining onion for another use). Drain on paper towels.




In a skillet, cook beef and sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
Add spinach; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the remaining ingredients.




Spoon into the onion shells.
Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned.




I garnished them a bit with shredded cheese. Yum!

Chicken:

Reduce heat to medium low, add the chicken pieces, and simmer, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.




Serve over rice with steamed veggies or a salad.
