UMDHRE
Tibetan Ramp Rice Pilaf
Yield: 2 to 3 Servings
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Umdhre is a simple and delicious dish made with wild ramps and rice, traditionally served with any kind of chili sauce—but I like yogurt chili sauce the most!
Ingredients
1 cup rice
2 ½ cups water
30 to 40 ramp leaves*
2 cups plain yogurt
1 to 2 green chilis
4 ramp bulbs **
1 ½ tsp salt
1 tsp chili oil (optional)
*substitute garlic chives when ramps are not in season
**may substitute 2 garlic cloves
Instructions
1. Clean ramps of any dirt, and separate the bulbs from the leaves.
2. Chop ramp leaves into ½ inch strips.
3. Thinly slice half of the ramp bulbs.
4. Rinse the rice. Add water and a ½ teaspoon of salt, and cook over medium-high heat.
5. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer for 10 minutes.
6. Add the chopped ramps. Cook for 10 more minutes, occasionally folding the rice.
7. Let rice rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, mash remaining ramp bulbs with chilis and 1 teaspoon of salt in a mortar and pestle until it becomes a paste.
8. Mix mashed ramps and chili paste with yogurt.
9. Serve hot umdhre on one side of the plate, and cool yogurt sauce on the other. Drizzle with chili oil to taste!
