Loobia Polow "Rice with green beans"

日本語

  • 2 Servings
  • Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Basmati Rice, 250 grams (1 cup is about 125 grams)
  • Ground Beef, 200 grams
  • Green Beans, 200 grams
  • Onion, 1 small size (100 grams)
  • Ground Cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon
  • Tomato Paste, 1 tablespoon
  • Salt, 1/2 of a teaspoon
  • Turmeric, 1/3 of a teaspoon
  • Ground Chili Pepper, 1/4 of teaspoon
  • Cooking Oil, 3 tablespoons

Preparation:

  • Wash the rice a few times until the water runs clear
  • Slice the green beans, not longer than 2 centimeter
  • Dice the onion

Directions:

  1. Place the rice in the rice cooker and add water. Add about same amount of water you do for other types of rice (Japanese rice). Usually for 1 cup of rice, one and a half cup of water is added. The marked lines in the rice cooker’s pot make it easier to remember whether next time, you should add a little more or a little less for a better result. Close the lid and press the ON button.
  2. Put the green beans in a pot, add boiling water until it covers them all, cover with the lid and simmer for about 5 minutes until the beans are tendered. Stop the heat.
  3. Pour cooking oil in a pan, add the onion and fry until translucent. Add the beef and fry until the meat turns slightly brown. Lower the heat.
  4. Add the cinnamon, salt, turmeric, chili pepper, tomato paste and mix thoroughly.
  5.  Drain the water from the boiled beans, add to the frying pan, mix well and turn off the heat.
  6. When the rice is done, gently stir the rice first to separate the rice grains, then add the meat-green beans mixture gradually and mix well.
 
Usually plain yogurt is the side dish served with Loobia Polow.
