Cooking rice to taste better?

RunTLS

I bought the Bird's Eye Steamfresh Whole Grain Brown Rice and I'm eating it but was wondering if anyone knew of a way to cook it or season it to make it taste better?

i found that replacing the water with chicken broth improves the flavor tremendously! whatever amount of water you need, use the same amount of chicken broth.

I caramelize some onion and garlic then add that to my rice and broth in the rice cooker.

I find that the type of rice makes a difference for me. I HATE long grain brown rice, but LOVE the taste of short grain brown rice.

I use organic short grain brown rice. However, I don't do it in the rice steamer.

I put a tbs of olive oil in the pot, then add chopped garlic. Next, I add the rice. I keep stirring it until it starts to brown. This brings out a wonderful nutty taste of the rice. Next, I add some rinsed canned mushrooms (I love mushrooms) and continue to stir. Then I add the fat free low sodium chicken broth and let the rice cook for about an hour. I always use more broth than the directions call for because I make a huge batch and reheat it throughout the week.

Good luck!!!

I have found that adding beans to your rice gives you your protein and then, for flavor, add salsa to the rice. I also add vegetable soup to rice (with the beans, any kind of beans cept Lima beans, separately from the salsa of course) and you have a great meal. Add maybe a slice of toast and you have a hearty, very nutritious and tasty meal.

This sounds ridiculously delicious. Definitely going to try it one day, thanks!!

Try putting different herbs or meats in the rice cooker, when you make it. For example, traditionally, a lot of Chinese people will put Chinese sausage in the rice cooker. It cooks both products at once, and gives the rice a slight sausage flavor. You can also try different herbs or veggies. My mom likes to put peas in hers. You can put ginger or other herbs to add a bit of aroma.
