I just looked at the Nutrition Label on my cheap white rice and found that 1/4 cup of rice has no fat, 3 g of protein and life B vitamins. That made me feel pretty good, especially since I always felt guilty for not buying good organic brown rice or wild rice. My family doesn’t really care about them, although it suits us. I was happy to see that just my basic rice lined up quite well nutritionally.
So here are a bunch of quick recipes that take just about as long as it takes to cook your rice. They are tasty, healthy, quick and cheap.
Curried Rice: My favorite! Add to your boiling or steaming rice, a few sliced scallions, chickpea pods and baby carrots if you have some or all; skip if you didn’t. Season with a few copper tablets given ginger or one tbsp. ground ginger, two grams of curry powder and a little salt or amino liquid.
Fried Rice:Cook some rice with the baby. Add new mushrooms towards the end. Optional: cut some part of the chicken breasts and saute in butter or oil and garlic. When chicken is no longer pink, something chicken, chopped onions or scallops with chicken. Drop two eggs in and stir until they are ‘stringey’. It is a mixture of cooked rice. Season with liquid amino or soy sauce. You can skip the chicken and just cook the chicken broth with the mushrooms.
Spanish: Very easy! Salted chips in 1 to 2 ratio with cooked rice. I know we love our own Tequila Kick. I told you it was easy. Sprinkle some cheese on top of the bread, you need some protein on your feet!
Divine rice: My grandmother’s secret recipe; It’s also surprisingly easy. When you make the rice, mix the mixture in french-onion-soup”>french water. Cooked rice , add mushrooms to the soup. When I do this, I add 1-2 cups of raw rice to the soup sprinkle the soup mix and cook for about 1-2 hours at 325 to 350 degrees.
Lunch Rice: This is a Dutch treat! Add cooked rice, milk, butter, sugar or honey, raisins and cinnamon. Makes a great breakfast. It is like a rice ball on top of a stove.
Rice Pilaf: This is very easy and basic. To your cooking rice, add a bag of frozen pea and carrot and onion soup or mix in chopped onion and garlic. Pilaf is a tasty way to get into vegetables.
Here are a few rice recipes to get you started. We usually like to serve rice with meat or fish as it is a healthy, tasty, cheap meal for countless meals.
