Now go about whatever other dinner prep you have to do without worrying about burning or boiling over—the Instant Pot has your back on this one. By Briana Riddock Updated July 24, Save Pin FB More. Instant Pot Rice. Here are a few of my favorite low-effort ways to kick basic white rice up a notch. All rights reserved. You could skip one of the spices and it will still taste similar. Or you can substitute as follows:. Garlic powder — melt 1 tbsp 15g butter and cook 2 finely chopped garlic cloves until golden, then add rice, water and all other ingredients and cook per recipe;.

Paprika — just skip it, adds a touch of warm earthy flavour and a bit of colour, not critical;. Thyme — not critical. Best sub is dried oregano, followed by basil. Parsley — optional, this is more for visual, to get the little green specks in the rice.

Place rice, water and all the seasonings into a large saucepan or small pot and give it a good stir;. Place a tight fitting lid on, then turn down to medium low — or low for strong stoves.

You want the water to still be simmering — if the heat is too low, then the rice just sits there in hot water, bloating, rather than absorbing. Too high, and it will bubble over and out the sides of the pot. Add butter and fluff up the rice with a rubber spatula — the residual heat will melt the butter.

I recommend using at least 3 tbsp 50g for a lovely buttery rice, but you can reduce to 2 tbsp 30g if you want. Or sub with extra virgin olive oil, or just skip the butter — it will still be very tasty rice! Pile onto serving platter, sprinkle with parsley or something green for presentation if you wish. Dig in! Cooked rice will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge I say 4 to be safe.

On low on my stove top….. While this works well for all three types of rice, for brown rice I prefer a method I learned years ago from Saveur. After some playing around, I figured out an even quicker and simpler way to get the same results:. This method produces incredibly fluffy brown rice keep the ratio ratio if you need to make more rice.

First, a reality check. While we sometimes enjoy brown rice in our house, all three of my boys strongly prefer white. My Brazilian husband, in particular, has been very patient with my introduction of brown rice into our diet, but has confessed that he still vastly prefers the white variety.

In addition, I have noticed that my boys are less likely to shy away from brown rice when it is smothered in a sauce or stew or is baked into a casserole such as our Spinach and Rice Lasagna. We are big fans of leftover rice in our house.

So much so, that I often purposefully make extra rice to use in other meals throughout the week. Here are some of my favorite ways to use up leftover rice:.

We often use leftover protein, cooked vegetables, beans, and egg in a Brazilian-style fried rice called Mixidinho. Did you know you can incorporate rice into fritattas? It adds a wonderful texture and heft to make the frittata a full meal! Similarly, you can add rice to casseroles, such as the Southwestern Egg and Rice Bake pictured above. Whether it is a pureed vegetable soup like our Butternut Squash and Apple Soup with Crispy Sage or a noodle soup where I swap out the noodles for rice, such as our No-Chicken Noodle Soup , my family is always excited to have rice-filled soup on the table.

One of my favorite ways to add flavor to rice is by either using a cooking liquid other than water bouillon or broth is an easy alternative , or by stirring in some fresh herbs, dried fruit, peas, nuts, or other flavor and color boosters. Below are 10 of my favorite ways to make rice taste especially good.

Use half water and half salsa or carrot or tomato juice to cook the rice. This will add extra flavor, color, and nutrients! Stir 1 — 2 Tbsp. The textures and flavors contributed by these add-ons elevate the rice to a sophisticated side. When the rice is cooked, stir in 1 Tbsp.

Do you love the gently spiced rice at Indian restaurants? Now you can make it at home! Cook basmati rice with 1 cinnamon stick, 6 whole cloves, and 2 garlic cloves use water or broth. Remove the cinnamon, cloves, and garlic before serving. So simple and so delicious.

I love this one because it adds some extra vegetables into the meal without anyone even noticing. Mix the onions and peas into already steamed rice.
