Deliciousify my rice

March 12, 2019 10:11 AM

I recently discovered that I love rice, as long as it’s salted or has other spices/flavors in it. What else should I add to rice, that goes in the pot directly when I’m making it, that will taste delicious?

So far I’ve successfully made and enjoyed:

- salt and a bit of olive oil (preferably on Basmati rice for the extra flavor/aroma)
- salt, olive oil, and lots of turmeric powder
- salt, olive oil, and herbes de Provence (this one is only so-so)

I’m thinking also of Spanish-style yellow rice, tomatoey rice (I had it once in a university cafeteria that seemed to be run by Spanish speakers and it was amaaaaaaazing), and something like the Japanese-style rice that Trader Joe’s has with seaweed and probably furikake and other things. But I don’t have the first clue where to start for these.

I also have a bag of wild rice that sounds nutty and flavorful, but it was so expensive that it would be nice to have a recommended recipe to try with it, so I don’t waste it.

(I cook it on the stovetop in a regular pot.)

Any fuikake will be delicious. Enjoy.

Now, my suggestion, Beef Jerky. Seriously.

Coconut milk.
Chopped up dried tomatoes.

You can also make a pilaf which is more work than just dumping in the pot but not that much more work. That can involve sauteed onions and garlic.

Look for dried kombu. You can cut it into chunks with scissors. A few square inches of kombu in with a cup of rice will add incredible flavor. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil and bonito flakes, top with a fried egg, you've got a meal.

I like to take cooked rice and add lemon juice from a lemon or two, along with a clove or two (or three or four) of minced, sauteed garlic. Put them all together in the same skillet you sauteed the garlic in and heat up, and then add some lemon zest on top.

I don't know how to create your version of the tomatoey rice, but I cook mine in chicken stock with a dollop of home-made tomato paste, and then throw in a handful of diced sun-dried (or oven-dried) tomatoes. Delicious!

(I also add a splash of white wine to the chicken stock).

Jeera rice is basically "cook some whole spices in butter for a minute, then add rice and water and cook as normal." The easiest version is to use just salt and a teaspoon or two of cumin seeds. Other things you can add: a cinnamon stick, a few whole cloves, a bay leaf or two, a small green chile.

Rice with chicken broth and a packet of Sazón Goya is the Maximum Laziness Approximation of Mexican restaurant rice. Slightly less lazy: cook the rice in a bit of oil over medium heat for a few minutes before adding the water. Also slightly less lazy: add some sauteed chopped onion or chopped bell pepper at the beginning. Or maybe: add a few teaspoons of tomato paste at the beginning. Or also: add some chopped green onion at the end.

pretty much any combination of the above

oh, and surprisingly tasty with a protein bonus: whole grains (including rice) cooked in whey (leftover from making cheese, draining yogurt, etc.)

Hold my beer, MeFites, I got this.

Asking what you can put in rice, OP, is like asking what you can put between two slices of bread. The answer is: ALL OF THE THINGS. ANY OF THE THINGS. WHATEVER IT IS YOU LOVE WILL GO WITH RICE. But you can't just say that to a newbie. If you're introducing someone to "what goes well with bread", you have to tell them about the toast, the grilled cheese, the BLT, the bahn-mi, the kati roll, the paratha, and so on.

As a person from south India, I am well suited to introduce you to the Greatest Hits in Rice Over The Past Couple of Centuries With Special Focus On Indian Preparations. I won't give you an exhaustive list, because that's impossible. I'll give you three biggies to absolutely must-try in each category though - one "basic" type, one "outstanding example of the category" , and one "non-basic, amazing, and probably familiar to western palates" type.

1. The Mostly Rice With Flavorings/Spices:
- Rice with butter, salt, and pepper
- Puliyogare
- Risotto

2. Rice With Other Defining Ingredients In It:
- Khichri
- Biryani
- Paella

3. Other Separate/Standalone Dishes To Eat With Rice:
- Yogurt + salt
- Kootu with dill
- Literally any curry

I only like rice with extra flavoring so I often make risotto, though in a somewhat lazy manner. Or I get some chicken gravy and put it over rice. Best rice ever was made with homemade turkey stock.

You can make an easy baked rice with rice, OJ, broth, chicken(bone-in, skin-on for flavor), where you use OJ and chicken broth as the liquid, nestle a couple chicken breasts into the rice, bake till done. @ 45 mins at 375.

My default for subtle but flavored rice is salt + white pepper. Not like, punch you in the mouth flavor, but very much nicer than just salt.

Also nice: butter + fresh ground ginger (this gets into "fried rice" territory, depending on how you cook it; +garlic +sambal +egg and you've got a pretty nice fried rice).

Gomashio goes on cooked rice, but is amazing. Toast a tablespoon of sesame seeds on a dry frying pan until they're golden and start popping. Mix with salt (enough to be noticeable - I'd start with a big pinch and adjust for taste). Sprinkle on cooked Japanese rice.

Just to note that Mexican/Spanish rice is not "rice with caldo de tomate." There's a process that starts with sauteeing dry rice and my friends that is something that takes practice, or at least it does me. You'll know if you got it wrong when the whole thing turns out like your normal and damp Rice-a-Roni. tl;dr: don't plan on it being what you're looking for the first several times.

I used to toast the rice a bit in olive oil before putting in the water, and with the browning rice, a good handful of sesame seeds. I'm not sure they would be as good just boiled with the rice; the toasting definitely makes it with this addition. Increase the water a smidge too, if you do this.

For Japanese rice add sushi seasoning(sweetened rice vinegar) to the pot when it's done cooking and let sit for a few minutes. Add the furikake after, to each serving. Use sushi rice (very short grain).

Lazy woman's spanish rice. Sauté rice in a little oil for a minute or two. Add liquid - I use 1 c of decent salsa (Herdes is what I usually have) and 1 scant cup of water to a cup of rice. Cook as usual - bring to boil, turn down, simmer for 15 minutes, turn of heat and let sit covered for another 10. yummy and fast. And yeah can throw in a can of drained beans or a fistful of frozen peas for more oomph.

ochazuke - green tea over cooked rice.

Sorta on the salty, sweet, umami - a rough teriyaki sauce is 2 parts soy, 2 parts mirin, 1 part sugar, maybe some minced ginger. Reduce by 1/3 if you want it thicker (also maybe potato starch) for meats and such, but it's pretty tasty by itself on rice. That and butter are pretty yum.

For tossing in vegetables it depends on the veg and fresh vs frozen and you just have to experiment a bit. Broccoli or peas tossed in too early turn yukky mush.

Is it always before the boil, or are any of them mid-boil or after it’s done? Particularly with stuff like coconut milk that’s not a dry ingredient.

I basically add stuff before the boil unless there's a good reason not to. The good reasons usually amount to "it will lose its flavor or texture if you boil it."

Examples of things I would add after the boil:

1. Fresh herbs good for eating raw, like cilantro, parsley, or green onions
2. Crispy things like sesame seeds or nori
3. Vegetables that have a different cooking time than rice so you've cooked them separately (this includes most frozen ones, which will go mushy if you cook them with the rice)
4. Cheese

Examples of things I would normally put in before the boil:

1. Dry herbs and spices
2. Flavorful liquids and goops: broth, wine, coconut milk, tomato paste, etc
3. Aromatic vegetables, like onions, peppers, celery, garlic, etc, that are basically just there for flavor and that can totally go mushy without bothering anyone
4. Other things that give a lot of flavor to the liquid you cook them in, like kombu, dried mushrooms, chunks of ginger, or meat
5. Salt, if you're adding it as a separate ingredient (though you can err on the low-salt side here, and if you end up adding more salt at the end it's fine)

Examples of things I could go either way on:

1. Fats like butter or oil
2. "Bright" condiments like a squeeze of lemon or lime juice or a dash of hot sauce — they'll permeate the rice more if you add them before the boil, but they'll taste "brighter" and more distinct if you add them right before you eat

Lebanese rice pilaf. It's basmati rice with vermicelli pasta noodles. If you can't find those, take angel hair pasta, or any very thin pasta, and break some up. (tip: wrap the long pasta in a towel before snapping - prevents bits and crumbs flying all over.) You rinse and soak the rice to help equalize the cooking times. Then brown the noodles in oil and/or butter - getting them good and brown will add tons of flavor - then add in the rice and water, cover and simmer. Top with toasted nuts, like pine nuts or slivered almonds.

From Nigella Lawson, "Pilaf for a curry banquet" - no need to wait for a curry banquet, though, this goes with lots of things. It's rice with onion, cloves, cardamom pods, cumin, cinnamon stick, and nigella seeds. So it's very aromatic, and elevates the rice way above "plain," but isn't so assertive that it draws attention away from whatever you're serving with.

Cooking rice in stock tastes awesome. I use vegetable stock; storebought is good if homemade isn't to hand.

I do red rice with 1 c basmati, 1 cup broth, 1/2 cup salsa, maybe throw in some cumin or chili powder when sautéing rice in a little oil. 18 minutes on low after bringing to a boil and covering will do it. Toss in corn kernels at the end to steam if desired. Yummy.

I've seen a few suggestions for star anise as well as for cardamom pods above, but I want to double-down on this specific combination. This has become my go-to set of ingredients for ALL the rice I will make forever and to the end of time:

• Salt
• Pepper
• Star anise
• Cardamom pods

I have a local Indian grocery store where I can stock up on the cardamom pods and star anise for a good price. The beauty here is the simplicity, you can just toss the stuff in and it never feels like a burden, it's just what you do. (Just be sure to take out them out before serving: a mouthful of cardamom is not pleasant).

Found this randomly on the internet, and after some modifications it's amazingly easy and delicious! We'll also do a batch of black beans in the Instant Pot and have meals for week.

Mexican Red Rice

1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 sweet onion, finely chopped
1 cup white rice, long grain, uncooked
1 3/4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 tsp salt
1-4 serrano or jalapeno pepper (depending on heat preference), whole with a slit cut lengthwise
1 sprig cilantro

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes until translucent but not browned.

Add rice, broth, salt and tomato paste. Stir until tomato paste is dissolved.

Add peppers and cliantro. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.

Remove from heat, leave lid on and rest for 10 minutes.

Fluff with fork, then serve!

A traditional (peasant) Cantonese cuisine staple are preserved ("lap" - "waxed"/ "oiled" - it's an ambient temperature confit + dehydration procedure) meats of various types.

Common cuts are duck legs, duck breasts, duck breasts with pork, 5-flower-belly (pork belly/ bacon). Sausages with pork, pork-liver are also really common and come in a wide variety of fattiness. There are commercial versions of all of these in vacuum packed plastic packaging, but the traditional kinds where the butcher makes it in-house and hang them behind the meat counter tend to be much better (and typically less fatty).

There are various ways of cooking them, but the easiest/ most common is to throw a piece on top of rice to be cooked in a cooker and it cooks with the rice. The flavours and oils seep into the rice, and provides a convenient source of protein (and salt). Typically, fairly small amounts are used - traditionally because of means, now more to avoid the sodium. Maybe the volume of a finger or two per serving of rice.

I see that you're in Montpellier... The closest Asian grocery store a quick google maps suggests that I'd expect to stock any of these are in Quebec. The next closest are in Latham, Cranston, with Lo's in Portsmouth the best bet.

In a similar vein, if you have a steaming tray for your rice cooker (if it has holes in it, lay down tin foil on top) vegetables like bok choi can be chopped up with minced/ ground pork, seasoned together with the usual suspects (soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, minced garlic, fine white pepper, corn starch for body) plus shrimp paste.

Some shrimp paste is fermented and macerated, others are just very finely ground or a mix. The very very highest quality are the equivalent of "coral" in lobsters - moderately developed (shrimp equivalent of) ovaries. Picked out by hand, macerated, sun dried, and bricked.

Definitely an acquired taste, though - and qualifies easily as "stinky" and "no microwaving in the office" (unless everyone else are connoisseurs as well). The sun dried stuff is very much less stinky but far far richer on the palate.

Anyway, you can mix this all up and throw it into the steamer in the rice cooker and cook it all together. Total volume shouldn't exceed ~1/3 the volume of the expected final volume of rice.

Okay, maybe this needs a separate ask, but I recently read a mystery where black rice was a feature. That is, rice cooked with chocolate (and cinnamon in the mystery). Now I have googled and found Filipino and Indonesian and Mexican versions. I haven't tried any. Yet. So, any input on this? (The black rice in the story was thick enough to mold into a sea-shell shape [if I read the translation properly] which is very unlike the SE Asia versions. Also, the writer was Sicilian, writing in Italian, but the setting is definitely not Italy.)

A staple in our household is "Rice Thing".

Chop 1 onion

Heat a heavy bottom pot, dutch oven, or the like until hot, add some olive oil, add onions and stir. Add some salt to facilitate the Malliard reaction.

Sauté in about 7-10 min, stirring as needed to prevent burning.

(optional: also include some diced garlic, celery, carrot and peppers (fire-roasted bell peppers are nice) along with the onion for extra awesome)

add 1 cup rice, sauté until the rice kernels start to "crackle"

add 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock (depending on the volume of vegetables added you may want to add another half cup of stock), a bay leaf, some tomato paste (optional, but tasty), cajun seasoning and some mushrooms.

Bring to a boil

reduce to a simmer, cover and let cook for 15 min

(optional: add meat if you are so inclined. Leftovers and sausage are good candidates. This should be precooked prior to adding to the pot, if you don't eat meat navy beans are also very tasty in the dish)

add veggies on top, don't stir them in, they will steam! (asparagus or brussels sprouts are favorites around here, but diced up broccoli etc would be good as well!)

cover and cook 10-15 more minutes or until veggies are tender

stir it all up and let it sit covered for 5 min

enjoy your nutritious food gloop!
