Consuming milk products is important whatever your age. As the needs of the human body changes with age, so does the number of recommended daily servings. Preparation In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté green onions, red pepper or carrots, three-quarters of the salt and hot pepper flakes for 3 min or until softened. Stir in rice and coconut until coated. Add water and bring to a boil. Whisk flour into milk and pour into skillet, stirring. Bring to a simmer, stirring often. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 min. Gently stir rice. Place fish fillets on top of rice; sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with snow peas. Cover and simmer, for 15 min or until rice is tender and fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 min. Sprinkle with cilantro or basil. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over top. Tips If you enjoy a little more heat, increase the hot pepper flakes to 1/4 tsp (1 mL) or add hot pepper sauce to taste. Thin fish fillets work best for this recipe, such as tilapia, pickerel or Pacific cod. If your fillets are thicker than 1/2-inch (1 cm), add the fish to the rice, cover and simmer for 5 minutes, then add the snow peas and simmer for 15 minutes as directed to allow the fish to cook without overcooking the snow peas. When buying fish, be sure to choose a variety that is sustainable and ethically fished. Jasmine rice has a fragrant aroma and floral flavour and cooks quickly. It’s readily available at most major supermarkets. You can use long-grain parboiled (Converted) rice instead; just increase the water by 1/4 cup (50 mL) and simmer for 10 minutes before adding the fish.

Number of servings (yield): 4 How to make Palitaw (<strong>Filipino</strong> desserts) Palitaw rolled in grated fresh coconut then sprinkled with a mixture of toasted sesame seeds and sugar <strong>Star</strong>t by boiling water in a deep skillet, wok or saucepan. In a skillet (or using a seed toaster), toast some sesame seeds until lightly browned. Cool then combine with sugar. Measure the rice flour into a large bowl. Gradually add enough water to the rice flour to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth. Form into oval shapes (about 3.5" x 2") and flatten. Into the boiling water, drop the flattened disks of dough a few at a time. Simmer or poach for a few minutes. A good indication that they're cooked is when the cakes float or come to the surface. Take them out of the water with a slotted spoon and drain by pressing the back of the spoon against a dry clean towel. Coat both sides of the cakes with grated coconut. Sprinkle with the sugar & toasted sesame seeds mixture or serve on the side. Serve with extra grated coconut and sugar.
