MY VERY BEST ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING RICE

My Very Best Anything and Everything Rice image

This is my own signature rice dish. I make a variation of it every week, you can add "anything" to it and it goes with "everything". You can make this your very own by checking out the variations I listed below and if you try something different and it's great, I'd love to hear about it. I make the rice in my rice cooker which calls for 1 1/4 cup liquid, if you are making it on the stove then follow the directions on the package of rice for the amount of liquid and if you have a rice cooker be sure to check your own manual for the amount of liquid as they are all different. Just be sure to use broth instead of water.

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 cups, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup jasmine rice
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 pinch saffron
1/2 cup frozen peas
salt and pepper

Steps:

Mix the pinch of saffron into the chicken broth.
Cook the rice using the chicken broth mixture. **I make the rice in my rice cooker which calls for 1 1/4 cup liquid, if you are making it on the stove then follow the directions on the package of rice for the amount of liquid and if you have a rice cooker be sure to check your own manual for the amount of liquid as they are all different.**.
While the rice is cooking sauté the onions in a little oil, on low to med. heat, stirring them frequently. I like to sauté them for awhile (like 20 minutes), so they get caramelized.
Turn the onions off when they are done to your liking.
When the rice is done add another tablespoon or so of olive to the onions turn the heat up a bit and add the cooked rice.
Stir fry the rice for about 5 minutes and then add the peas and sauté for another 5 minutes or so. I like to really stir fry the rice, so I use the maximum amount of oil. With the heat on med-high I let it sit so some of the rice gets a little crispy, not burned, but crispy on the bottom. - I hope that makes sense!
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Now, some variations depending on my mood --.
I add diced bell pepper with the onions.
Or add garlic or fresh sliced mushrooms to the onions 5 or so minutes into their sautéing.
I also add some toasted slivered almonds occasionally.
And, sometimes I add a handful of fresh parmesan to the finished warm rice, it's really good!
You can pretty much do as you please with this; it's so easy and always so good.

ANYTHING RICE

Categories Onion Rice Stir-Fry Quick & Easy Bell Pepper

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 tablespoon cooking oil
1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups cooked rice
leftover chicken, pork chops, hamburger, fish, shrimp, bacon, or whatever

Steps:

Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onion and bell pepper and stir-fry 3 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble. Put in the rice and your favorite meat, stir-fry, and the aroma will get your taste buds hungry. Serve immediately for breakfast, dinner, or supper.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your rice dish. Always choose fresh, premium ingredients whenever possible.
Rinse your rice before cooking: Rinsing your rice helps to remove excess starch, which can make the rice gummy or sticky.
Use the right amount of water: The amount of water you use to cook rice is crucial. Too much water will make the rice mushy, while too little water will make it dry and undercooked. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
Cook your rice over medium heat: Cooking your rice over medium heat helps to prevent it from burning or sticking to the pot.
Don't stir your rice while it's cooking: Stirring your rice while it's cooking can break the grains and make the rice mushy. Instead, gently shake the pot from time to time to help distribute the heat evenly.
Let your rice rest before serving: After your rice is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and become fluffy.

Conclusion:

Rice is a versatile and delicious grain that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. With a little practice, you can learn to cook rice perfectly every time. Whether you're making a simple side dish or a complex pilaf, these tips will help you achieve the perfect results.
