What's the biggest risk you've ever taken? Managing risk has been front and centre in our minds these past two years of COVID. This episode tries to unpack some of that risk in a broader way as we examine big risks we've made in the past and what our choices say about us. How do we react differently to the risks imposed on us, versus the ones we choose to take on? How do we manage when everything goes wrong? We try to find the right language for navigating the risks life throws at us, as well as examining the need for healthy risk taking in each of our lives. Ultimately a question for us all: what's our risk portfolio?
Natalie’s Risky Rice
Ingredients:
1 cup of rice for a family of three
1 package of ground meat (or meat sub of choice) - I used lean ground pork. I suggest NOT ground beef for this recipe.
2 green onions
2 cloves of garlic
2 stalks of celery
2 tsp of Chinese 5 Spice (key ingredient!)
Swirls of soy sauce + mirin (or honey)
Salt to taste at the end
(Bonus: A red chili finely diced if your household likes more heat)
Put rice on as per directions. (I used long grain brown rice in this pic.)
Add a little olive oil to a cast iron pan and then brown the meat over medium/high heat and then add the diced onion and celery.
Once they soften turn the heat down to medium and add your finely diced garlic and swirls of soy sauce + mirin.
Add the 5 spice and mix. Taste and add salt as needed.
Add the cooked rice to your pan and stir into meat mixture.
Serve! Take risks 💛
