pineapple lime rice chicken rice spicy green rice mexican rice soy ginger rice lemon dill rice i rarely make plain white rice it never was a staple in my household i have very much trying simple add ins to make basic rice more flavorful as well as coming up with different options for vegetables to load up the rice with and make it more healthy nutritious most of the recipes below show 2 options for each rice flavor 1 for the simple rice and 1 that includes add ins to mix in with the rice or cook with the rice coconut rice this has long been one of my favorite side dishes it is sweet and absolutely delicious i love how easy it is to make simple version ingredients 2 cups white or jasmine rice 1 can unsweetened coconut milk 2 cups water 1 5 tsp kosher salt splash of white vinegar 3 tsp white sugar handful of chopped green onions for garnish black pepper to taste directions combine rice coconut milk water salt vinegar and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil turn heat to low and cover for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed allow to stand 5 minutes add green onions black pepper if desired and additional salt if necessary add in version for add ins i sauteed 2 small yellow squash and 1 2 cauliflower head both chopped until tender then threw in some snap peas 1 cup at the end since they take less time to cook after the rice was cooked i mixed these vegetables into the rice indian spice rice i make this dish frequently it is such a delicious way to pack in lots of veggies and makes the house smell amazing this is just a very simple set of spices to try out that turns out well it is very easy to try adding different quantities of other spices simple version ingredients 1 tbs olive oil 1 2 tbs cumin seeds if you don t have these just add extra ground cumin 2 cups uncooked basmati rice 1 tbs curry powder 1 tsp ground cumin 1 2 tbs salt 1 4 tsp cayenne change the amount of cayenne to suit your spiciness preference 4 cups water directions heat olive oil and cumin seeds in a large pot until cumin is fragrant add uncooked rice and all the spices stir rice to coat with spices and toast 2 minutes add water bring to a simmer cover the pot and cook 20 minutes until rice soaks up all the water stir occasionally to keep bottom from burning if rice is still slightly hard add more water 1 4 cup at a time to reach desired consistency add in version i never make this dish without veggie add ins as opposed to some of these rice dishes i add the veggies during the cooking process instead of at the end when i add lots of veggies i double the spices added so 2 tbs curry powder 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tbs salt 1 2 tsp cayenne veggies i used 1 onion 1 green bell pepper 1 small head broccoli 1 2 head cauliflower handful green beans handful peas heat olive oil onion and cumin seeds in a large pot until cumin is fragrant add chopped veggies except peas and all spices stir for 5 minutes to begin cooking the vegetables add the rice and peas stir to coat rice with spice and toast for 2 minutes add the water bring to a simmer cover simmer about 20 minutes until rice is cooked through add more water as needed 1 4 cup water at a time pineapple lime rice this sweet and citrusy rice dish is a great accompaniment to all kinds of different different grilled meat or you can add meat in directly to make this a main dish the flavors here are great and again this rice is so easy to make simple version ingredients 1 5 cups long grain rice 20 oz can crushed pineapple 2 5 cups water 1 tbs butter zest from 1 lime 1 5 tsp salt handful chopped cilantro juice from 1 lime 3 chopped green onions directions combine rice pineapple water butter lime zest and salt into a pot bring to a simmer cover and cook until rice is soft stir occasionally to make sure the rice on bottom doesn t burn add more water if needed the rice starts to burn or you run out of liquid before the rice is soft to cooked rice add chopped cilantro lime juice and green onions stir to mix add in version i added some veggies to this dish by sauteing 1 orange bell pepper and a handful of green beans both chopped with a bit of olive oil and salt ahead of time and mixing them in after the rice was cooked chicken rice using stock chicken beef vegetable instead of just water to cook rice is an extremely easy way to add some flavor to plain old rice for the add ins i used classic soup vegetables that pair well with the chicken stock flavor depending on the flavor strength of the bouillon you use you may want to do 1 5x or 2x the needed amount for the water in this recipe to give it extra flavor especially if you re adding vegetables you can also certainly use actual chicken stock instead of bouillon simple version ingredients 2 cups rice 4 cups water chicken bouillon optional double the amount needed for 4 cups water directions add rice water and bouillon to a pot bring to a simmer simmer for 20 minutes until rice is cooked add more water if needed stir occasionally add in version i used carrots onions celery chopped somewhat small to help with cooking time and sliced mushrooms heat 1 tbs olive oil in a pot over medium high heat add onions and cook for 3 minutes add carrots celery and mushrooms stir and cook for another 5 minutes add water and bouillon bring to a simmer simmer for 10 minutes add rice and another 1 2 cup water simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is cooked spicy green rice this is the only recipe where i did mix in any add ins because i included the peppers and zucchini in the base recipe this turned out delicious i enjoy this method of blending up vegetables to add to the rice and might play around with this even more simple version ingredients 14 oz vegetable broth 2 poblano peppers stems and seeds removed roughly chopped 3 serrano peppers stems and seeds removed roughly chopped the amount of serranos can be adjusted depending on spiciness preference using 3 made it fairly spicy you can also substitute jalapeno peppers if you prefer 2 small zucchini chopped 1 2 cup cilantro 4 cloves garlic 1 5 tsp kosher salt 1 tbs olive oil 1 onion chopped 1 cup uncooked long grain rice directions add peppers and zucchini to vegetable stock in a pot bring to a simmer simmer for 15 min pour peppers zucchini and stock into a blender add cilantro garlic and salt and blend together until not chunky heat oil over medium high heat add onions and cook until tender add rice and toast for 2 minutes pour pepper mixture into the pan bring to a boil then simmer for 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked through add more water if needed add in version i ended up not adding any additional vegetables to this dish since i blended the zucchini up with the peppers but it would be easy to saute some bell pepper more zucchini or squash or a variety of other veggies and stir them into the mix mexican rice the simple version is a take on classic mexican rice you get at restaurants tomatoes and spices add a great flavor to the rice simple version ingredients 1 cup uncooked rice 1 8oz can tomato sauce 1 cup vegetable broth or water 1 2 tsp chili powder 1 tsp cumin salt and pepper to taste directions put all ingredients into a pot and bring to a boil reduce heat and simmer for about 20 min until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked through add more water if needed stir occasionally to make sure the bottom rice doesn t burn add in version this recipe makes a great base for adding in all kinds of veggies cooked with the rice 1 chopped onion 3 minced cloves garlic 1 cup frozen peas 1 cup frozen corn kernals 1 cup diced carrots added into the rice after cooking 2 chopped roma tomatoes chopped cilantro i doubled the spices from the recipe above heat 1 tbs olive oil over medium high heat in a
