What do you add to rice?

Not to hijack, but...are rice cookers supposed to rattle and hiss and wheeze and whistle or did I do it wrong? I bought one years and year ago and used it once and now it's in storage because I'm scared of it.
All the ones I've ever seen do. They work similarly to kettles. I've had some that spit out starch water from the pressure value too.

... and apparently brown rice has a high amount of fibre which is great at cleansing

Yes!!! It did that, too! I kept waiting for it to explode.

Salsa - every time.0

If it's already cooked I sometimes add salsa, or make a "fried rice" with egg whites, lite soya sauce, and frozen mixed peas and corn. Or I may just dump my leftover spaghetti sauce on it.
If cooking (depending on what I'm eating it with) coconut milk and/or a stick of lemon grass is easy. stock as mentioned above, too.0 -
Tonight I cooked it in chicken stock, added some thyme and onion.
Dinner is actually a lazy meal tonight. I took a baking pan, put in a cup of rice and a cup and half of chicken stock, then added onions and thyme, and a couple of chicken breasts. Cover it in foil and bake it on 375 for about 45 mins. Not a lot of prep involved and moderately healthy. That and a side of broccoli and you have a great meal.

I just made this tonight, rice in the slow cooker (I found it here: [http://www.eatingonadime.com/crock-pot-rice/). I only had about 1.5cups of rice with about 3cups of water. We usually have it with some garlic powder and butter, but I might try to make it with broth next time!0

Usually Furikake,low sodium soy sauce,or Sriracha.0

I add nori seasoning. (seaweed and sesame seeds)0

Bumping to try some of these. I usually just put butter and some herb and garlic spice mix on it if my main dish isn't "saucy".0

I totally get the appeal of boil-bag rice for busy nights. Plop it in and walk away. When I do this and want to keep it super simple, I have a few go-tos:
Salsa
Butter (or spritz with oil) and seasoning. My favorite is called, Its a Dilly. (laugh it up, I do every time I see the jar). Old Bay also a good seasoning for rice.
Grated parm or other hard cheese.
Popcorn seasonings can be pretty low cal. Try Ranch.

light shredded cheese or peanut sauce, mainly. looking for a good healthy peanut sauce recipe to replace the store bought stuff.0

I add just a few drops of sesame oil and a sprinkle of powdered ginger to the cooking water, then pour on some garlicy hot sauce when I serve it up. My son likes his cooked with Old Bay and a little butter, though.
This sounds great. I love adding a bit of sesame oil to my rice, I'll try the ginger and garlic sauce

chilli oil, salt and black roasted sesame seeds. When I'm cooking it, sometimes I also throw a green tea bag in the water.0

A large amount of Mrs. Dash. No sodium - just flavor. Fantastic rice this way - no butter needed!0
-
I also put my meat, veggies and a tiny bit of the juices from the pan the meat was cooked. I guess I need to remember to log that as "chicken drippings."0

Goma shio! Mmm. (It's a blend of toasted sesame seeds and salt -- we love it!)0
-
A glass of water..0

I don't make plain white rice all that often unlesd it is a base for something else with lots of flavor. When I do serve it as a side it is usually cilantro lime, or sometimes coconut milk stirred in. I usually buy the flavored rice packets but these suggestions are great!0

Raisins, peas and toasted pine nuts0
