What's a good way to change the recipe in my rice cooking?

I don't really like plain white rice, so I usually cook rice with corn, green peas, or green beans. Anyone has another way of cooking rice?





Thanks.What's a good way to change the recipe in my rice cooking?
try making fried rice out of your plain white rice. you could add almost anything in fried rice, meat, sausages, veggies.etc.What's a good way to change the recipe in my rice cooking?
Try a different type of white rice. I use Basmati rice. It has a different flavor than plain white rice.





Or try Cilantro Rice





6 cups just cooked, hot rice


1 bunch fresh cilantro


2-3 cloves garlic


1/2 sweet yellow onion (like Maui, Vidalia or Walla Walla)


salt and fresh ground pepper to taste





While rice is cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients as follows: remove stems from cilantro, roughly chop then put into a food processor with garlic and onion. Process until everything is finely chopped.





When rice is cooked and still very hot, combine with cilantro mixture, salt and pepper to taste. At this point you can let sit covered for 5-10 minutes to blend flavors then serve, or bake at 350 degrees for 20 -25 minutes and then serve. Either way is good. The rice takes on a greenish hue that looks pretty. This dish goes well with Mexican dishes as a substitute for Spanish Rice.
i am japanese. i like plain white rice. tastes great!


it took me a few years to appreciate that taste, though.


have you ever tried japanese rice made in California?


that is one of the best rice in the world.
Try putting salsa in it,it tastes great.You can eat it with beans and enchiladas.
i cook mine in alot of water with chicken bouillon, when done drain. cook peas (drain) with some butter, salt, pepper, then pour over rice. also try making mexican or puerto rican rice, good.
Use flavourings,such as stock cubes or spices. There is actualy a seasoning you can buy called ';pilau rice seasoning'; for indian dishes and i am sure there are alternatives for other cuisines.
