As you all know my son has a gluten allergy
and he is that sort that dont really fancy eating .....
It makes it really challenging for me daily....
Because of this, it really pushes me to think hard out of the box....
Yes I have done bento,
I have use food accessories ...whats next?
My boy is a very colourful boy,
he loves colours........
ok why not rainbow rice?????
I tried and I did it....
its so so pretty looking, my boy loved it ,
most importantly he finished the rice.....
made my day....and many more happy days to come ;-)
I have googled and searched and I could only
find raw rainbow rice and not COOKED rainbow rice........
This is really an idea inspried by God....Amen .
This is really simple to do it......
The Rice
Prepare sushi rice ( 2 cups, cook more is required )
and I usually add a little organic salt into my rice
to give is a taste.
The Natural Colouring
While its cooking preapre the natural food colouring as follows:
I used a juicer to extract the juice from these
vegetables except the Blue Pea Flower and turmeric
Pandan - Green
Turmeric - Yellow ( I use turmeric power and by adding some water into it )
Blue Pea Flower - Blue**
Carrot - Orange
Beetroot - Magenta
Purple Carrot - Purple
Extract and sieve to remove the access fiber
** the Blue Pea Flower, from my garden, pluck the flowers,
wash and clean.
Remove the stamp and soak into warm water , pound them and squeeze out the blue colouring from the flower.
Once all the colouring is completed set them aside
The RICE ,
once cooked , divide them into 6 individual bowls.
While its still hot add the natural colouring into the rice and mix well
( start with half a teaspoon
and add more if required )
As for the green, yellow and blue rice , once mixed well,
please steam them for 5-10 minutes to cook the colouring well and to remove any bitterness from them..
