My step son loves rice but I am running out of ways to make it. How do you like your rice that different?

Question

from, yellow rice, rice and beans, or black beans and rice?

Answer 1

Have you ever done chicken stir fry? Personally im kind of picky but when i make a chicken stir fry, i make the rice and chicken separately and mix them together in a tupperware container.I always love doing that, also i add a bit of "no" salt which makes it taste really good. I once added steamed carrots in it, it was pretty good.

Answer 2

I use leftover white rice and make desert.  I just add some milk and a little bit of cinnamon & sugar, then warm it up ...can also add raisins, it makes a "cheater" version of rice pudding.

Answer 3

Steamed white rice, then when you are about to sit at the table to eat, add just a little dried sea weed.  Sounds gross, but it's really good.

Answer 4

my mom would always make white rice (boil 2 cups of water for every cup of rice w/ a little salt, add rice when water is boiling, cover and cook stirring occasionally until water is gone and rice is puffy and soft) then add ice cream and sugar, i'm not really sure how much because she would never measure, but i would estimate about a 1/2 cup of white sugar for 2 cups of rice and about 1 - 1.5 cups of ice cream for the same amount of rice.

I personally like to make a bunch of rice this way and then add some of it to stir fried veggies (peppers and onions especially) and add salsa and roll it all up in a tortilla.  

Answer 5

Zatarains' makes some really good rice or rice/bean mixes with Creole/Cajun flavoring.  You can even add sausage (or not).  They're very seasoned, and don't taste like any other rice mixes ..... You can use it with ground beef to stuff bell peppers;   Porcupine meatballs;  and my family's very favorite vegetable dish:

SPINACH RICE & CHEESE

1/4 c. melted butter

8 oz. shredded cheese (whatever you like)

1/2 - 3/4 c. chopped onion

1 pkg. frozen chopped spinach, defrosted & squeezed dry

1 cup Minute Rice, raw

1/2 - 1 tsp. garlic salt

1/4 c. sour cream

Mix everything together well and put into 9x13" pan.  Bake at 350 for 1 hour, COVERED with foil.  ....  Don't fight over the crusty edges:)

Answer 7

This is a yummy change-up to regular rice that I now am addicted to:  use 1 cup white rice (not the quick-cooking kind) and about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of broken up spaghetti noodles (or angel hair).  I break the noodles into 1/2 to 1 inch long pieces.  Note: The noodle amount is up to the taste of the cook (and diners of course).

Get your saucepan out and put about 2 tbsp of butter in the bottom (more or less to taste).  Melt the butter on low to medium heat and add the uncooked noodle pieces and rice.  Cook those for a few minutes until they are browned (gives it a nutty flavor).  Then you add 2 cups of chicken broth (or whatever type of broth you like) and bring to a boil.  Once it boils, turn down the heat to simmer and put a cover on.  The rice should be done when it absorbs the water; however I have noticed at times that i need to add more stock as it can take a bit longer and sometimes requires more liquid with the added noodles.

Once the rice is done, I salt & pepper to taste and usually add a little dried parsley.  You can add any other items you want (sometimes I add pine nuts, garlic, cooked onions, olives, or other spices).  Fluff with fork and serve hot.

Answer 8

Rice Pilaf

Saute some thinly-sliced onion or shallot in olive oil until it's golden.  Add the rice and stir until the grains are translucent.  Add enough stock (chicken, beef, veggie, it doesn't really matter) to cook the rice, as well as some herbs (thyme and rosemary both work well), dried fruit (raisins or cranberries) and/or nuts (I like almonds).  Cook for whatever length of time is specified on the rice package.

It's a more grown-up version of rice that I think tastes really good, especially with any sort of roast.  You can also add raw sliced carrots or onions to rice and cook it with stock; by the time the rice is done, the veggies should be cooked enough.

Answer 10

you could get some long grain rice and mix it with brown rice and add spices like in the Zataran's or something like that section they have that kind of rice and it is soooo good. You could also make Fried Rice or rice with some butter and salt (yum!) and kidney beans and spinach and white rice. You could make Indian butter chicken and eat it with rice or pretty much any other kind of Indian chicken except tandoor (it's too dry). You could get wild rice. vegetable rice. you could search on Google rice recipes and you get all kinds of results! All kinds of rice, rice!
