Answer 3

substitute the water for chicken broth

Answer 4

I add olive oil to my water and 2-4 chicken or beef boullion cubes, whatever I have on hand.  Also, a pkg of lipton onion soup mix is super but if your kids don't like onions, don't tell them.  good luck.

Answer 5

The most common thing to do is substitute water for broth when making the rice.  But you could also add a little lemon and some pepper to tast or any type of vinagrette would be good.  My daughter loves her rice with the raspberry vinagrette and she likes it even better when her rice is cold which makes it perfect to bring for school lunches to!  Good luck hope this helps

Answer 6

Make with chicken broth and butter  or  stir in a cheese sauce and serve, like mac. & cheese sauce, or a mild salsa.

Answer 8

Usually with rice... the entree is used to flavor the rice.  Gravy, pan juices... etc.  So if your entree is flavorful, then you get the trickle down effect.

Other things you can do...

Cooked rice

add a dab of butter, salt and pepper to cooked rice...

my daughter likes sweet and sour sauce on cooked rice.

Salsa on cooked rice is good...

Soy sauce or oyster sauce...

Raw rice

Yes, you can use broth instead of water or make a Spanish/Mexican rice.

Rice Pilaf... brown rice in butter, add some crushed egg noodles and add the liquid.

Answer 9

Don't be afraid to use spices, pretty much.  Google brown rice recipes.

Answer 10

cook it in beef stock and I like to use chicken stock sometimes and add mixed frozen veggies to brighten it up.

To make it simple but delicious, just add some butter, plump raisins and a dash of brown sugar!
