SIDE ESSENTIALS: YUMMY LEMON INFUSED RICE
Okay, I will admit it, I am a fan of all things citrus... Well, most things citrus. This is a fun, comforting side dish that comes together in thirty quick minutes. The citrus notes are a perfect complement to fish, meat, or poultry. Or, you could just make up a batch and eat it by itself. FYI: The main photo for this recipe is my lemon-infused rice, topped with a pan fried boneless pork chop... So yummy. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

- For this recipe, you will need a saucepan, with a tight-fitting lid that is capable of holding all of the ingredients.
- I cannot expect everyone to make their own chicken stock, so if you choose to use store-bought stock, remember that they usually contain a lot of sodium. Therefore, you might not need to add any additional salt. Up to you.
- Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- Add the rice, olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and basil to a saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring, until the rice starts to turn translucent, about 3 - 5 minutes.
- Add the remainder of the ingredients, set the heat to low, and cover for 20 minutes.
- Chef's Note: If you are using the Ponzu sauce, add that with the other ingredients.
- Chef's Tip: For nice fluffy rice, take the pan off heat, leave covered, and let stand for an additional 10 minutes.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Use as a side with meat, fish, or poultry, or just eat by itself. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
