Yep, here y'go:
whilst the rice is cookinng, stir fry in a wok or similer the following:
15mls light oil
Sliced red and green bell pepper
chopped garlic clove
one red chilli - more or less to your heat tolerance!
Chopped onion
Sliced mushroom

When veggies are "al dente" throw in 30mls reduced salt soy sauce and one teaspoon of honey.
Squeeze in the juice of half a lime, and 15mls of fish or oyster sauce.
Now add the rice. Stir over gently as not to break up the rice.
Top with half a dozen plain shrimp if you want some protein.

That's my Thai style brown rice salad.
Enjoy.

I like brown rice cooked with a stock cube in the water. I know it's high in salt, but so worth it!!!

This was the first brown rice recipe I ever tried (never been a huge fan of it and was testing the waters), and I definately plan on making it again :happy:

While the rice is cooking I throw in a bag of frozen mixed veggies, and one forth cup of low sodium chicken broth. I also throw in some leftover chicken. I love it. I eat less than a cup of it and it fills me up. I might have a salad or an apple.

I stuff portabello mushrooms,aubergines,or tomatoes wiith cooked brown rice, herbs, and some parmesan or gruyere mixed with some breadcrumbs as a topping. This is usually a main low calorie dish but goes well with meat or fish.

These are great! Thanks.

Today for lunch I heated up 1/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup pinto beans (canned rinsed beans), 1/8 cup corn and 1/8 cup diced tomatoes with green chili (I used Rotel). Heated that up on the stove, then stirred in 1/2 cup cooked brown rice into it, and topped it with 1 ounce pepper jack cheese. Filling and just over 300 calories. You could cut out 100 of those cals if you don't add cheese.

After cooking mix in canned green chiles, 1/2 cup or so of crushed tomatoes, season with S&P and cumin. Stuff a bell pepper that has been cleaned out of ribs and seeds with the rice. Top with some shredded cheese if you so desire. Bake 350 deg. F for 30 minutes or until pepper is soft.

Yum!

I add a can of diced tomatoes and taco seasoning to a 3-4 cups of cooked brown rice. Heat it through so the tomatoes are hot and eat it with your favorite Mexican dish.

I always cook my rice in chicken broth...tasts better!!!

Brown rice takes longer to cook than other types but has a delicious flavor..

The ratio is 2 to 1 water to rice.

For example > 1 cup water to 1/ 2 cup brown rice. Bring water to boil, add a dash of salt, add washed rice and boil - covered. Cook for 1 hour. (Very important not to check until the time is up, repeated lifting of the lid lets out a lot of steam/water needed for cooking.

For added flavor and the rice cooks a bit better, I think>

Heat a cast iron (or other ) pan, and toast the rice, that is brown it. Keep moving the rice around in the pan over a medium to high heat until the rice looks and smells toasted. You can toast it dry or with a little olive oil. Either way, the extra toasting of the rice gives it a really nice nutty flavor and, as I said...ths preroasting gets the cooking started and helps ensure the rice is fully cooked





This recipe is from my memory of the Tassajara Zen Macrobiotic Cookbook.
Bon Appetite!

I love rice but simply CAN NOT eat it plain!! I really like to sauté onion, peppers and chicken and have it over brown rice, sometimes I add a little shredded cheddar, very tasty. I know it is high in sodium, but once in awhile if I am low on time, I will put Chunky's Veg. Beef soup over it like a gravy. And another good standby for me, is to cook it in my homemade spaghetti sauce.

I love love love curried shrimp & onions over rice.
1. Cook rice. I like to do the quick boil method with whole grain brown rice. I fill the pot with water and put in a cup of rice. Boil for 30 minutes and drain the rice like you do pasta.
2. Sautee up some onion in a bit of olive oil and yellow curry powder. Toss in shrimp in the last final minutes and cook until pink.
3. Mix onions/curry/shrimp into rice.
4. Add 1/4 cup of milk and stir.

Optional: Serve with pineapple, coconut, and peanuts. YUM!

This is a mixture I make sometimes:
Cook rice in rice cooker (sometime white, brown, or quinoa depending what I have on hand and my mood).
1/2-1 lb fried lean hamburg
1 kg frozen mixed peas and carrots
4-6 scrambled eggs (depending on how many I've got)
1 can sliced waterchestnuts
1 onion (I usually use a green onion or cooking onion again whatever is on hand)
1 or 2 stalks of celery sliced
Low sodium soy sauce
Sweet'n Sour Sauce (optional)

While the rice is cooking I fry up the hamburg. Depending on the size of frying pan I'm using I will either put the hamburg in a big bowl. In the same frying pan I'll scramble the eggs. Just before they are totally done I'll also throw in the onion (if I haven't already cooked it with the hamburg), waterchestnuts, the entire bag of mixed peas and carrots and celery. Add a little soy sauce and heat until the peas, carrots and celery are cooked.

Dump everything together (rice, hamburg, and contents of the frying pan) into a big bowl. This makes quite a few servings. I take a small container of it for lunch through the week. I've got no idea on the calorie count but what the heck I've got protein, vegetables, and carbs all in one dish for one meal. Sometimes I'll add a bit of Sweet'n Sour Sauce. You can vary the amount of each ingredient.
