rice

I love boiled rice, with peppers and onion lightly fryed (in the spray oil thats really good for you) and I always put a bit of curry too

I don't know anything about the benefits or disadvantages to eating rice, but I eat it probably once a week. I love it with any asian themed recipes, or by itself, or make it into red beans and rice with vegetables.

I love it. Buy a good rice cooker.

I love rice!!!! If it didnt take 45 minutes to cook I would eat it every day! (Brown rice that is) I steam or boil it, put a bit of butter on it and salt. That is my favorite way to eat it. Sometimes I eat it plain. Or I boil it in chicken stock instead of water. You can put just about anything over rice! It's great for when you're really hungry and want to eat 1000 of something .

I love all kinds of rice! I agree that a rice cooker makes things much simpler.

does anybody have a recipe though? I'm looking for an Asian/Chinese healthy recipe for rice that has a lot in it besides the rice i only have 2 cups of rice i just need something to put in it like veggies or meat and spices. I already understand that its good for you in small amount \s but im trying to find an actually recipe for it for a dinner not just to cook the rice and I understand I need the rice cooker but for a newly graduate of high school going to collage without a job I can't really get one until its either Christmas or my birthday which both is a long time from now and I'm trying to plain this dinner for this week.

Stir fried rice. Take like 1tbs or so of oil, just enough so stuff doesn't stick, saute finely chopped veggies, ginger and garlic to taste. When they're soft, add rice. Sprinkle with sesame oil, siracha if you like spicy and a few tablespoons of soy sauce (or to taste). Add a scrambled egg and chopped cooked meat if you fancy.

I sautee onion in a pan, then scramble a couple eggs in there, toss in peas and some cold (precooked) rice and then stir in some soy sauce and thai fish sauce (about 1/4 tsp) to make a yummy fried rice. Also like to top with cooked chicken, peas (or any other frozen veggies) and onions with teriyaki. Or, stir in some pre-made pesto and top with diced chicken, chopped fresh tomatoes and a sprinkle of parmesan. And I used to make a good beans'n'rice but sauteeing onion, adding red beans and some garlic, top with salt, pepper and some red pepper flakes and then mix with cooked rice. Good luck!

Rice and stir fried chicken.
Chicken stir fry,in a little oil, your chicken which you've cut into thin strips until it's no longer pink, take it out of the pan add an onion some chopped garlic and grated fresh root ginger, cook them for a min or so. Return your chicken to the pan, add some light soy sauce, and rice wine or dry sherry about a table spoon and lots of veg, include some bean spouts during the last couple of mins - as they really bulk it out- I mean lots. Cook until the chicken is completely cooked.
I make a slimmed down version of yang chow rice- sauté an onion, some smoked turkey bacon, chopped green beans and any other diced veg that takes my fancy. Add your cooked rice and a splash of soy sauce. Cook until the rice is thoroughly mixed with the veg and is heated through. Some times I break an egg or two into the pan and stir it through the rice.

Tasty, filling, it includes some protein and you can tweak the amounts to suit your needs.- if your cals permit add a tsp of sesame oil to the rice at the end it really perks up the flavour. You could add some Szechuan peppercorns to the chicken dish when you cook your garlic about a tsp should do it. They are so tasty - if your boyfriend can tolerate peppercorns.

I made this recently. It was great! I am sure it would be great with shrimp too.
