Brown Rice

umeboshi

SH - are you talking about mixing things into recipes or after cooking to give it a bit of pep e.g. hot sauce or sriracha? I've never really seen a good flavored brown rice recipe. Weird now that I think about it.

I usually cook rice in like a can of chicken broth... It makes it infinitely more palatable.

I wouldn't want to eat broth-cooked rice cold for lunch. If eating it cold, it's gotta be fresh, more salad-like. Tons you can do though. -brown rice in Tabouleh style; diced tomato, diced lebanese/english/kirby cucumber, maybe some diced onion, a lot of chopped parsley, some S+P, fresh lemon juice, and a little veggie oil -Orange segments, sliced fennel or belgian endive (or both?), some red onion, an orange vinaigrette -I made this, to go with a chicken dish (which should've been fish but I don't like fish) - it's cold brown rice, with minced yellow honey-cured umeboshi, cucumber, red onion, some chives, and chopped fresh shiso leaves. Kind of inspired by ume-kyu maki that you get in between sushi courses to clean your palate, by way of tabouleh. -You could do a Korean bibimbap-style dish, make it as easy or difficult as you want it to be, by the number of things you add. Choose several veggies (carrot, pickling cucumber, sprouts, zucchini) and run them through a mandoline to julienne, saute each separately, very quickly for a minute or so in veggie oil + minced garlic, splash each with beef stock while cooking, until everything is wilted but still crisp. Add some chopped romaine, maybe a grilled chicken breast, make a 'dressing' of Korean gochujang, sesame oil, and a little Coke or Sprite. Mix it all up before eating and eat:

I love brown rice with just a tab of butter. However, I always eat it hot.

10 cups of brown rice a day? what the fuck for?

Not sure, but what you mentioned there looks about right.


weight gain, but it was too much Niacin so I had to discontinue.

+1 on the bimbimbap recommendation. The combination of greens, hot sauce, choice of meat or tofu, bean sprouts with an egg on top hits the spot all the time.

I've enjoyed brown rice with mixed veggies and cheese.
