Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250ml) uncooked wild rice
  • 15 mL (1 tbsp) sunflower oil
  • 5 mL (1 tsp) wild ginger, finely diced
  • 5 mL (1 tsp) wild garlic, finely diced
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) ramps, white and light green part only, finely diced
  • 250 mL (1 cup) canned sweet corn kernels
  • 85 mL (⅓ cup) dried cranberries
  • 15 mL (1 tbsp) soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1

In a medium-sized pot, bring 1 L (4 cups) of water to a boil. Once boiling, add dry wild rice and simmer for about 40 minutes, or until the rice just starts to open and is chewy. Remove from heat, strain in a fine-mesh sieve, and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.

2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, ginger, garlic, and ramp and sauté for 2 minutes. Add corn and dried cranberries and sauté for another minute.

3

Mix in cooked wild rice.  Add soy sauce and toss. Scrape the bottom of the pan to mix up all the tasty bits.

4

Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
