Good spices for rice?

[amdhunter]

Been practicing my rice skills but salt and olive oil alone isn't cutting it.

I'm heading to the supermarket later - what should I pick up to get my rice going?

Is it just a big bowl of rice, or are you adding any other veggies or protein to it?

Instead of water you can substitute jasmine tea, use chicken stock, toss in a bullion cube, ect to give it a little more flavor during cooking.

Leave your rice alone. Don't mess with it. Cook bunch of side dishes to go along with it. Beef dish, fish dish, couple different vegetable dishes, and a soup.

saffron, cardamon, butter

It has to be stove top rice because an Asian person wouldn't add anything other than water to their rice. And all Asians cook their rice in a rice cooker.

I tend to make mine with a distinctly more Indian taste, I add Anise, Clove, and Saffron.

Vegeta, a type of seasoning salt, with spices and dehydrated vegetables. Great for plain rice or a base for soup stock.

 

[smackababy]

Cilantro and lime.
Saffron.
Bacon, I suppose technically not a seasoning, but still amazing.
Salt, pepper, and fry it in a little sesame oil.

Furikake!

 

[brandonb]

I sprinkle curry on mine.

Maybe you're just buying the wrong brand. Lipton and Uncle Ben make some really good flavored rice.

If you are worried about cooking it, just get rice crispies and eat it cold with milk.

Curry Fried Rice with bacon for the win.

This is now a rice cooker thread.

Anything Indian.

Saffron, fish oil...really anything pungent.

Plain rice, white. I think I mastered the art of texture and cookiness. Now all I have to take care of is taste.

I actually thought about this, but how many packets for 1 cup of rice?
