Tried to search on the forums here, but every thread regarding rice is a brown rice vs. white rice dumbfest. Would rather ask you guys/gals anyways.
Give me some delicious recipes for rice. Simple + lower calorie = win.

Ugh awesome. Few things just to make sure I don't mess it up:
1) For all of these, I cook the rice on its own first? Just wondering what you mean by "cook as directed." Or does that mean it gets cooked with the other stuff when I add it to the pan?
2) Any specific oil? Can I use cooking spray to save calories? Does it matter?All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

1) Yeah when I say cook as directed I mean pre cook it on its own according to directions on the back of the box and set aside. (its been forever since I cooked rice, but I think its a 2:1 ratio water:rice, bring to boil, cover, turn down to simmer, cook 20 minutes)
2) Definitely feel free to use cooking spray. I usually spray the pan with pam and then use a paper towel to spread it across the pan to use the absolute minimum. If you have the macros to spare, definitely use butter to sautee the P&Os/veggies, but if not the cooking spray still yields good results.xTUNAx CREW

I like me a little more flavor. I'll be making that fried rice recipe up there for sure. Adding all the veggies = volume = glorious. Probably make a few batches to make sure I got it down, and once I'm feeling good, I'll just start making it in bulk.

If you have rice left over... I like to throw it in the pan with my eggs the next morning and scramble it all up. Throw in some bacon or sausage and you're all good!

I don't buy meat for home :[
Yeah I'll be sticking with the garlic. No oil or butter just to minimize calories. Would rather eat an extra 1/4 cup of rice than a tbsp of oil. But yeah, I figure a cup of rice (the 4 servings) will give me two meals. These are perfect.All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

Throwing in some mayonnaise and soy sauce plus either salmon, tuna or chicken (salmon's the tastiest with it IMO).
You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel.

Ah, another one....
Use basmati rice, use chicken stock instead of water (Wolfgang Puck brand is pretty tasty), add in a couple bay leaves and salt and pepper, add in a ton of cherry/plum tomatoes, cook as directed on basmati bag. The tomatoes will burst when you stir it when its done and create a great red rice. you can also use stewed tomatoes but then you need to play with the water/stock volume.

A lot of Mexicans will add large chunks of onion and bell pepper in while cooking the rice. Adds some subtle flavor without adding caloried, and you get some steamed bell pepper and onion that you can eat too. Let me find an actual Spanish Rice recipe that I grew up eating, may take me a bit to find.

If you want something more time/ingredient intensive, Ive made this one a couple times and followed the first review that comes up's recommendations.
Got lots of comments at Christmas as well as a dinner I hosted.

Goes well with this recipe for fish tacos:

I buy minute rice, it takes 2 mins in the microwave.
I then add scallions, garlic, salt, pepper, lime juice, and tuna. Takes 3 minutes and tastes great. Nothing amazing.
One of my favorite rice dishes to make is from the Momofuku book.
Grilled Rice
What I have done, to make it better.
Cook rice
Add a tad of salt
Make rice 'patties'
Heat pan to high
Brush bacon fat or grease all over rice patties
Lay in pan and keep adding bacon grease
Cook until browned on outside
This makes a great crust with the nice bacon flavor soaking thru the rice withe the salt adding great counterpoint.**Official Bicycle Crew** Ờờ
