Help with rice.

Hi.
So I hate rice. Which is really too bad, it seems like a good idea especially brown rice, nice easy carboydrate that should go with everything. But I can only stomach once every couple weeks.

So those of you that like rice, can you tell me what's I'm doing wrong? I just follow the directions on the rice bag for cooking. Or share good tips and recipes for rice? Different types of rice to buy?

Thanks!

    Get a rice cooker, use basmati or jasmine rice, use a flavorful cooking liquid or season your water with some salt of MSG

    Google for Rice Pilaf, rice Pulao, fried rice recipes. You'll find some easy rice preparations with veggies and different types of meat. Doesn't take long and very filling and nutritious.

    I don't really consider rice, even brown rice, to be a health food, so I say if you don't like rice, don't eat it. You could substitute another grain, like quinoa (or even couscous) to see if you like that better.

    I do like rice, but I'm partial to the rice that comes out of my unfortunately expensive rice cooker.
