What are some interesting and cheap ways to spice up white rice?

use garlic, green oinion soy sauce and chicken

Simple, 1cm cubes of cheese, with frozen mixed veg and tomato ketchup. Try the chhes and rice first on its own, good with brown rice too.

If I want something quick and easy I add part of a package of dried onion soup mix...it really jazzes it up.

Actually spices are pretty cheap and last quite a long time. So I would say just add a little butter (like a stir fry) and experiment with different seasonings. I would try Italian spices then some more hispanic dish spices like oregano. You could throw in a few onions too that adds some flavor but not much expense!

A simple South Indian rice recipe: its called curd rice. That's yogurt. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large pan. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds,cumin seeds, red chillies and green chillies and a small amount of split Bengal gram or lentils. Allow this to cool and then add rice and curd to it. Mix well and there you have an easy and tasty meal. Another recipe : saute onions and a little ginger-garlic paste in a pan. Add eggs and scramble it. Add pepper, salt and chilli flakes to it then add cooked white rice.

You are add in some mixed veg to your rice and make some sauce to go with it. or you can fry the mixed veg with some spices and add to the rice to make into fried rice.

Hello Jaluke and welcome to myLot. I know you have been given a number of ideas on what to do with your rice. I would like to suggest that instead of getting white rice you get brown. It is more nutritious. White rice is milled until it destroys 67% of the vitamin B3, 80% of the vitamin B1, 90% of the vitamin B6, half of the manganese, half of the phosphorus, 60% of the iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids. Fully milled and polished white rice is required to be "enriched" with vitamins B1, B3 and iron. I think the milling also distroyes the nice nutty flavor that the brown rice has. When I fix my rice I add turmeric ginger and cumin when it is cooking. I also add some cooked ground up turkey To this you can add any vegetables you like. Peas go well.

I cook mine in chicken broth instead of water, and I chop up cabbage and other vegetables and cook in the rice to keep it moist and also make it more healthy. However, I do have to add that white rice is not as healthy as whole grained rice, although many people find the flavor of the white rice more palatable. I mix mine half and half and then I also add some broken up noodles, which in the San Francisco Bay Area we call Vermicelli and Rice. I like curry in my rice, personally.

try this one. saute garlic, onion, ginger and chicken meat. add some salt and pepper. then add some water or chicken stock and put some uncooked rice on it. bring it to a boil and mix it occasionally so that rice would not become sticky. make sure that there is still some water or chicken stock on it. if the rice is cook then it is ready to served.

Fried rice is a good one-dish meal. Add the vegetables or eggs and fry them all with soya sauce. You can fry your rice in tomato sauce or You can boil your rice with coconut milk. These can be eaten as they are and as good a dish with salad leaves.

if you have a big enough frying pan or a wok, you should try frying it. there are a variety of recipes for simple fried rice dishes. here where i currently live, i've seen some people cook up some delicious fried rice with only just a few ingredients to use..

You can add just about anything to white rice. That's one of the reasons rice is so versatile. If you're using a rice cooker, just add in whatever you like. Sometimes I'll add some cut up, leftover meat; a can of tuna, leftover veggies, basically whatever I have on hand. My kids also like ramen noodles a lot, since I typically make 5 packages at a time, I often keep one or two of the seasoning packs and add them to a pot of rice. You could do the same thing with beef or chicken bouillion. You could also use broth instead of water to cook the rice in. Experiment with different spices like curry to see what you like. Have fun and enjoy.
