Brown Rice- How to make it tasty?

top it with stir fried veggies? what i love to do is in a bowl, scramble 1 egg with 1 tbsp soy sauce, pour it into a pan and cook it then put it on top my rice. it is soo good!

other things that i think taste good with rice are
- soy sauce
- rice seasonings (check your local asian market)
- butter
- pepper & salt
- curry

pretty much anything really! what type of food do you like?

It's great mixed with grilled or roasted veggies, like red bell peppers, zucchini, etc.

But favorite way to fix it is as a pilaf -

I saute celery, green onion, garlic and mushrooms in butter (can use olive oil, but butter is delicious!). Add some pasta near the end, if desired, and let it brown, too. Oh, and toss in some dried herbs of your choice - herbs de provence, or thyme, sage, basil, whatever you like. Add your brown rice (or add the sauteed veggies to your rice in a rice cooker), use low sodium chicken broth instead of water, and let it cook. It's delicious.

I always make a big batch, and leftovers (if there are any) are awesome in a soup.

Any tips on how to make brown rice not taste so bland?

Throw it in the trash and instead cook jasmine or basmati. Cook the rice in a stock or sprinkle some MSG into the water when you cook

^ I love jasmine and basmati rice. So yummy.

rub bacon on it.


(that's all I got)

that must be delicious.

I buy the brown basmati rice, it's fantastic and has a really nice texture.

I put wild rice in soup. I love the mixture with black and multicolored rice. I still love white rice and eat it on occasion because it tastes SO GOOD. LOL

Bump for later, some of these ideas sound amazing!

I use chicken broth (low sodium) instead of water when I make rice, really adds to the flavor.

No help here- I think brown, white, yellow, red, purple, green, and all other colors of rice are disgusting.

I usually just add the zero calorie butter spray and some no salt seasoning to it when I get ready to eat it.

I hated brown rice but somewhere I had read that short grain brown rice was tastier so I bought some and love it. I had tried the brown long grain and brown basmati and threw it out. The short grain brown is so much better.

I love brown rice, but that's because I always mix it in with something. My favorite thing to do is sauté a huge blend of vegetables, add them to a tomato and roasted red pepper soup then pour that over a bowl of rice. Great for the winter, super filling, and healthy!

And I also love to sauté red peppers and onions, add a can or corn and a can of black beans, 1/4 cup of salsa and some spices. Pour that over brown rice = mmmm!! Super cheap and quick.

I mix my rice. Try putting black & jasmine rice with it. Black rice has a nutty flavor.

I just generally just LOVE brown rice, I find it much tastier than white rice.

I would just look up rice recipes and then just use brown rice instead of white rice.

Some great suggestions on here- thanks for asking the question! I toast chickpeas in a teaspoon of sesame oil, add it to the rice, and snip in some scallions.
