Homemade Meal With White Rice, Cucumber Slices, And Sauce Recipe

Preparing the Rice

1. Rinse 150-200 grams of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. 2. In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the rinsed rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. 3. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff with a fork.

Making the Sauce or Stew

1. Finely chop 20 grams of onions and 50 grams of tomatoes. 2. Heat 5-15 grams of cooking oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent. 3. Add the tomatoes, 50-100 grams of your chosen protein source (e.g., ground meat, lentils, beans), and 5 grams of spices and herbs. Cook until the protein is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened. 4. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.

Serving

1. Place a serving of the cooked rice on a plate. 2. Generously ladle the sauce or stew over the rice. 3. Thinly slice 100 grams of cucumbers and garnish the dish with them. 4. Serve warm and enjoy.
