I don't think carbs are evil either, but they definitely don't help me

I'll try seeing if I can find some type of curry spice or something next time I got to the store. Like I said, I don't hate brown rice. I just can't understand why the seasoning I put in didn't flavor it. But I'll try some other stuff. Thanks!

Saute the cooked brown rice with some Soy sauce, a bit of olive oil, some chili sauce. Add peanuts, peas and colored peppers. Add salt to taste.

I usually eat my brown rice with stir fried tofu or veggies and its one of my fav dishes.

The key is cooking the rice using broth instead of water. Chicken, beef, or veggie broth works. Add fresh garlic, salt, and whatever herbs or spices you have on hand. For a really yummy treat saute some veggies using 1 tsp of olive oil, a few splashes of broth, garlic, and spices... when the veggies starts to wilt stir in the cooked rice. I usually use some shredded carrots, shredded cabbage (or similar), onion, mushroom, and maybe peppers. You can even add some chopped dried fruit like raisins or dried cherries and/or nuts depending on what flavor profile you are going for. So good.

I really hate cooking rice but I found this great brown rice in the natural foods section: Lundberg's "Rice Express". It is seasoned organic whole grain brown rice already cooked and sealed in a bag... santa fe style, asian style, chicken, or beef You cut open the bag, pop it in the microwave for only one minute and thats it! The bag has 2 servings with 260 cals, 4.5 fat, and 3 fiber per serving but 1 serving size is a lot of rice. I keep all the flavors in my cupboard regularly. Fabulous.

I use chicken broth now. And I tried adding curry powder, but I don't think I added enough. I might try a whole teaspoon or 2 next time. And I think I have to cook it longer and with more broth. All the grains won't cook fully. But I'm learning. And I found some whole grain balsami, or whatever rice. I'm going to try that when I get done with this Uncle Ben's I am using now.

you can get different seasonings at whole foods, healthfood store or any Japanese shop. Just sprinkle on top, also good for seafood, chix and salads.


made with nori and other things that are REALLY good for you (if you are not allergic, ie sesame seeds) with very low calories.
You can see them used in Japanese restaurants to dress up sushi rice.

another really nice and spicy item is red pepper in oil with rice wine vinigar. I like to dip dumpling or rice.

I like brown rice but I have added a bouillon cube to help with flavor. I have also added green onions and I really like how it tastes with the onions. yummy!

I've been using the 365 brown rice from Whole Foods and I put in a bit of boullion, herbs and dried onion. I toss in some green beans, a tiny handful of corn and some chopped carrot too, since it's usually the main part of my meal. It's pretty yummy!

Before cooking brown rice, I saute diced onion in the pan, then add the rice and cook it with chicken broth. I have never liked brown rice much when I've had it in restaurants, but I really love it cooked like that.

I CRAVE brown rice - and don't season it. I use Success brown rice boil in bags and it's ready in 10 minutes, cooked in plain water. I always eat it with a seasoned chicken, but I definitely think I could eat it plain as just a side snack.

I love plain brown rice and just cook it with water and salt or broth. It's sweet and nutty on its own.
