how do you cook your rice?

[djkeev]

Better watch out!
Almonds have Cyanide in them!

Cooking rice?
2 parts water, 1 part rice. (Plus butter or what ever seasonings float your boat)

Bring water to boil, add rice, stir, cover, bring to boil, turn down heat and simmer till,water is gone.

TM, i do it the same way as you, except i turn the flame off after 10 mins, wait 15 mins. its perfect fluffy rice and you save 10 mins. of propane. and the rice never over cooks.

I cook it a lot!
I put the rice in a ziploc bag.
Then I sit on it for 3 hours.
Then I take it out and cook it
in a pan on the stove like everybody else.
Cuz sitting on it doesn't do anything!

[rvpopeye]

Only if you like it !

I suppose its better than crunching on the uncooked rice...so there is that...



And all this time I figured it was for drying out wet iphones or filling up home made beanbags...

Tomorrow for Lunch,  I'll be making fried rice in my Wok.

This is a Google stock image of a Wok similar to mine.  The rice will be cooked in sauce pans with lids covering them and then cooled to room temps.

I'll use half brown rice and half white rice. 

It will have sliced pork,  sliced chicken breast, and canned tiny shrimp.  (3 flavors rice as it's called)

In it will have a couple scrambled eggs chopped up, some frozen peas, spring onions, and a little
thin sliced Nappa. 

My recipe makes 3/4 of a Wok full so I'll eat on it all day. 

Recipe available on request.

Sounds yummy EDJ! Do you use any kind of sauce in it?

LOL, popeye. you ain't right. highdesertranger

No,  it isn't in a gravy or anything quite like that.   I cook it in peanut oil at the start and use sesame oil at the finish.  It's seasoned lightly with "5 spice" and when done it is a bit on the dry side.    Like you would get at a
Chinese Restaurant for take out. 

I used to carry my Wok & Larder kit with me when I would travel to visit out of town girlfriends.  This was one of
the most requested dishes I made.   I often made a second batch of it for them before leaving so they could freeze it and have it when they wanted later.   It's quite affordable the way I learned to do it.    I
buy a few larger shrimp and mince them with the cleaver, which is cheaper than buying the can of tiny shrimp.

It isn't difficult to make at all.

I just discovered Walmart sells 4-pak single serve rice that can be microwaved. How can you use that on a stove?

 

[highdesertranger]

it should have stove top instructions. if not I would need to see the instructions. sometimes you can use hot water in place of a microwave. highdesertranger

 

[caretaker]

every type of microwave rice I've tried and I've tried a lot all have a funny after taste,that being said has anybody found a brand that taste like you've made it yourself?

 

[CityWoman]

I know you all have to be eating a lot of rice.

Really? Why? Is rice a vandweller thing? :huh:

 

[Cammalu]

I like black rice

Just a heads up for those who don't know.

Rice can potentially be one of the more dangerous foods you can prepare.  It is a power house of energy for your body and depending on the type of rice can be healthier for you.  Less refined rice in particular.

But some of it, depending on how it has been stored prior to being packaged,  may be a hazard.

This link will tell you more.  I learned about this a few months ago when I took a "Serve Safe" course to get certified.

Beware, spores of Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning.  The spores can survive even when rice is cooked.  You must be careful when storing cooked rice by itself or if used in other dishes of food. Don't keep it long.

Try steaming it - I use a metal strainer nested over my small saucepan with a 1/2" of water in it. The saucepan lid won't fit tight with the strainer in place but it fits tight enough for steaming the rice.

I started using the strainer because I found that rice and quinoa didn't do too well when I tried using my veggie steamer...quinoa in particular fell through the holes...
