     Title: Peppers And Crab Mixed Rice
Categories: Japanese
     Yield: 1 Batch

 1 1/2 c  Uncooked rice
     2 ts Chicken stock
 1 3/4 c  Water
   1/2 c  Red pepper
   1/3 c  Green pepper
     5    Mushrooms; up to 6
   1/2 c  Cooked white crabmeat
 1 3/4 tb Butter
     1    Bay leaf
          Salt and pepper

 If using Japanese rice, wash, drain and leave to stand for 30 minutes
 before cooking.

 Dissolve the chicken stock powder with a little hot water then add the
 remaining water.

 Cut the peppers open and discard the seeds. Cut the red pepper into
 tiny square pieces (1/4") and chop the green pepper into 1/2" square
 pieces. Slice the mushrooms thinly and loosen the crabmeat flakes,
 ensuring that there are no pieces of shell remaining. Cut the butter
 into small pieces.

 Cook the rice in the chicken stock, adding the bay leaf for extra
 flavor.

 Once the rice is cooked, stir in the butter, season with salt, and
 pepper and roughly mix. Then add the peppers, mushrooms, and
 crabmeat, mix again and serve.
