omg I love brown rice!! That is all we eat at our house. We do eat it plain, but some mix ins that I like are:
Cook the rice with half water half teriyaki sauce
Instead of cooking with water pour in some kind of broth
I love putting in a can of chicken and noodle soup and cooking the rice - delicious!
Cook the rice and then add with scrambled eggs
Let me think of some more ideas.....
Very cool! Thank you for posting this!0 -

I also cook quinoa like I cook rice. Because all this 1 cup this to 2 cups that used to drive me mad and I used to get real soggy results. So now do open pot cooking whee I can watch, just like pasta actually.0

Has anyone found a good way to cook brown rice? I tried it in my rice cooker, and I guess the water/rice ratio is not the same as that of Jasmine, Rose, or any other white rice.
it helps to soak brown rice for a few hours before cooking.0 -
I cheat, I make the 10 min boil in bag brown rice. I'm not sure if there is a nutritional difference but all it takes is 10 min in a microwave and it comes out perfect. Any other way and I either burn it or under cook it.
I sometimes put a little Italian dressing in it or low sodium soy sauce. However, low sodium soy sauce it still pretty high so if your watching that, I would advise against it. There is also a spray that I use that I found next to Pam in the grocery store. It an oil and balsamic and its really good.
I put chicken or steak in it, bell pepper, carrots, bean sprouts. Whatever I feel like throwing together.0 -
I use it for stuffed bell peppers (turkey stuffed peppers from skinnytaste.com)
Awesomeeee
I pretty much only use it in recipes lol0 -
i dice up asst veggies and throw in while the rice is cooking and then add bragg's liquid aminos to it before eating.0

2 1/2 c water per 1 c rice. My rice cooker compensates automatically with extra time (I guess it knows when the water is gone? idk...)0 -
Soak it for at least an hour with warm water. Then put it in the rice cooker.0

You can Put it in a casserole in place of any carb. Great way to flavor and add till you get used to it.0

On Sundays I make up 2cups of dry brown rice with 5 cups of water a very large bowl and nuke it in the microwave for 30 minutes on high. Then I measure out the cooked rice and separate it into one cup portion sizes to freeze for when I need it.
When I need it I thaw and heat it up, toss it through my raw salad greens add coconut oil and some soy sauce/ periperi sauce add my chicken/cooked mushrooms/whatever protein of choice and mix that through as well. Turns into a warm salad with alot of different textures. Taste great I have a version of something like that everyday. I love brown rice. I may start weighing it instead of measuring as due to being about 216 calories a level cup its easy to get additional calories if your measurements are off.0 -
Coconut brown rice A few calories more with coconut milk so great for those trying to boost calories.
