flavoring rice

Rice is best cooked with just water and nothing else. You can play around with what to do with it after. Stir-fry, Sauté, use it for fried rice, anything can make of it, but after you cook it first as a rice. =) Japanese' have something that they mix with rice, it's like a seasoning, that makes it more tastier. =)

Well, there is like tomato rice and it's pretty good, just put in some tomatoes inside and mix it with the rice, and put a few star anise in there.. You can also put in raisins as well to sweeten the rice, and put in some cloves and a few star anise and a stick of cinnamon in it.. If you want your rice to smell really nice, you can also put in a stick of butter on it.. For something savory, try putting chicken stock in your rice.. and once it's cooked, put in a knob of butter and let it the heat melt it, then you can mix it, serve it with Parmesan chicken or baked chicken! Yummy!

One of the easiest ways to infuse flavor into rice is by cooking it in chicken stock. Some seasonings compatible with rice include curry, cumin, saffron and oregano.

When the rice is boiling we sometimes add tomato puree for a wonderful tomato-rice or corn and tumeric powder for corn-rice. Our children love too.

try this...cook a rice with some coconut milk,ginger n salt...

You want to flavor your rice, not cook it into it.

I usually add my seasoning after the rice is already cooked by the rice cooker. I don't want to throw of the balance of the cooking. When I first got mine I just took some butter and melted it in the hot rice with a little garlic powder and some Italian seasoning and everyone in my house loved it, so now that is a common side dish around here.

I used to.. haven't in awhile. I found this recipe called garlic butter rice.. it calls for some margerine, garlic, parsley, chicken bullion cubes, and a couple other things. My family really likes it, and its pretty easy. I mix it all together and put it in the rice cooker.

You could flavour the rice with stock cubes, spices, garlic powder etc I don't about the US but Knorr make stock cubes here thta ar pillau rice flavoured - they would be ideal

Any kind of dry seasonings that you like would work. Packets or bottles of mixed seasonings that are available from any supermarket. There are all kinds of mixes. Right now, I have packets of Spanish seasoning, a bottle of garlic/pepper mix, and Italian herb mix. You get the idea. You could also saute onions, if you like that flavor, and add them to the cooker.

If you are experimenting with rice, try using chicken stock in place of water. As soon as it boils throw in some shrimp and clams and a little bit of salt. Wait till it cooks. Prepare a slice of lemon ( for the clams) a glass of soda and lastly wash your hands and start eating. Chow!
