Make a tasty meal in the image of Endor's furry inhabitants.

August 14, 2018

Ewoks: friend or foe? It depends on whether they’ve strung you up for a BBQ or whether they think of you as some kind of god.

Still it’s hard to resist a furry face and sweet eyes, but instead of heading to the Endor moon, now you can make your own little Ewok pal at home -- with an Ewok Rice Bowl! These flavorsome bowls are made with brown rice imbued with rich coconut milk, topped off with vegetables and fruit. In the end you’ll have a happy little rebel friend looking back at you.

When you’ve finished making this delightful dish, you’ll surely be accepted as part of the tribe.

Ewok Rice Bowl

What You'll Need:

inari (aburaage) tofu pockets, seasoned
Cherries
Plum
Kiwi
mushroom

Coconut brown rice ingredients:

1 cup brown rice
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 cup water
Pinch of sugar
Pinch of salt

Step 1: Rinse the rice under water a few times, then drain completely.

Step 2: In a saucepan stir together the rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil.

Step 3: Reduce heat and cover, then simmer for 18 minutes.

Step 4: Fluff with a fork, then scoop into a bowl, reserving approximately ½ cup.

Step 5: Separate the inari and place around the edges of the bowl, leaving an empty center area.

Step 6: Add the rest of the brown rice on the sides for the ears.

Step 7: Cut a cherry to create the nose, and carve two small ovals out of the plum for the eyes.

Step 8: Slice the mushroom to form the mouth.

Step 9: Cut strips of kiwi to add the details to the cowl.

Step 10: Once everything is in place the bowl is ready to serve. Yub nub!
