How to make brown rice taste good???

I like making it and then mixing it with some fresh red or yellow peppers, red onion, cucumber and cilantro. I also out a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar in it for an acid in it if tastes too bland.

right up my alley!! Make 1 cup every other day and put in the frig. 2 cups of water bring to a boil,add cup of brown rice, turn down burner to med, set timer for 25 mins. Comes out perfect everytime! PUT IN FRIG TILL NEEDED.
When needed can add different spices,add cut veggies[already in frig],or just olive oil or butter.[microwave 1 min.] even use peanuts or rasins for flavor. Be creative and put in foods you like!:happy:
Also other meals in frig,...cut up fruit, make big salad [good for about 48 hrs.]
Always have prepared food in refrigerator so don't go to fast food or stop pick up candy,sweets,and carbs.[ALWAYS A WEAKNESS WHEN YOUR HUNGREY. That 7-11 is a killer when your starving.

P.S. CAN EVEN USE CAN VEGTABLES BUT I RINSE THEM BEFORE USING[SODIUM]

We love it. I buy the bagged rice in the oriental section of the grocery store. It's a medium grain rice, I think the brand is Tsuru Mai. And then just follow directions on the package to a tee. Electric steamers haven't worked well for me with the brown rice. And it doesn't bake well from a raw state.

Adding vegetables is good. And definitely broth or bouillon cubes enhance it. We often cook it ahead and then add to casseroles, like maybe Spanish rice: Cooked rice, sauteed peppers, canned diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne or hot peppers to taste, and maybe leftover chicken or lean beef or pork, plus any other vegetables you think will work, such as celery, zucchini, canned black beans, etc. Then top with shredded cheese and bake at 350 until bubbly and starting to brown.

Or serve it under a stir-fry. Good way to ease it into your diet by mixing with other familiar foods until you "get" the taste of it.:flowerforyou:

I LOVE brown rice, I usually add some green onions and garlic the armoa and taste are amazing. :-)

i have tried uncle bens brown rice and didnt like it because it was plain and dry and I had to add salsa and lite sour cream, then I made california brown rice and I liked it so much that I ate it plain?? I guess just try some different brands, I like a little garlic and I can't believe its not butter spray.

I cook mine in broth and add onion powder, garlic powder, and ground ginger. It's yummy!

We eat a lot of brown rice and we love it! I usually add a pack of taco seasoning to the water when it's boiling and then add the rice to cook. Then when it's cooked, I add some low fat shredded cheese and some salsa and some fat free sour cream. Then eat it in low fat tortillas. Yummy! (extra additions I sometimes add; sweet corn, black beans, onions, low fat re-fried beans, cilantro)

I love brown rice, I eat it plain as is!!

Try different brands, they all taste different. I use success brand, I think tastes better than steamfresh brand. But I like both!!!

I toast some almond slivers and stir into the rice when it's almost done. Love the nutty flavor the almonds add plus they are good for you (in moderation).

I too cook mine in chicken broth/boullion. Just add a couple tsps. to the water no butter or salt. I use uncle Bens the long cooking, it takes about 25-30 min. Make sure you cook it all the way. Then I let it cool in the pan and then put a 1/2 cup of rice in snack bags and put some in the freezer and some in the fridge. So it is always ready for what ever I want to put it with, chicken, shrimp, whatever. Oh and if you buy the longer cooking rice(not minute rice) be sure to keep uncooked in the freezer, because it can go rancid in a cupboard if kept long time. Because it is more natural that can happen the white rice is so refined that there is no natural hull on the grain to go bad. I watched a whole Alton Brown episode about brown rice, very interesting.
