Rice Bars
Posted in Racing by Juli FioccaWhat to eat prior to competition? Day before a race? Anytime you want quick carbs, low fiber, a bit of protein that is easy-to-digest and yummy…
Yes, this is the famous stuffing in my shirt (it has been noted that early on in the bike my shirt looks ‘full’ — these are my snacks for the first 1/2 of the IM bike — see image).
Here’s my recipie:
You need:
2 cups of rice (white organic jasmine)
4 cups water
1T salt
- boil 4 cups of water with salt (I use a lot of salt – about 1T for this recipie, which is about 440mg per bar (given 12 bars/recipie)
- add 2 cups of rice (1120 calories) — I use white jasmine organic rice; reboil, simmer for about 10 minutes with the lid on
- add 1 cup of egg whites (100 calories)
- reboil then turn it off and let it soak
- reboil then turn it off and let it soak
- sometimes I add just a little more water (like 1/4 cup) if it looks too thick
- Let it sit for 20 minutes with the lid on with the flame off
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Prepare a baking sheet or pan
- Scoop the rice/salt/egg mixture into 1/2 cup packed ‘bars’ and place on pan
- Bake for 22 minutes
- This usually makes about 12-12.5 bars (about 100 cals per bar)
- I wrap them individually in aluminum foil
- Voila!
