Rice Hack Recipe

[Dawn]

Perfect for your special dish

Ingredients:​

• Cooked rice (white rice, brown rice, or any variety you prefer)
• Olive oil or any cooking oil of your choice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional add-ins (choose any combination):
  • Diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, carrots, peas, corn, etc.)
  • Protein (chicken, shrimp, tofu, cooked sausage, etc.)
  • Garlic, minced
  • Soy sauce or tamari for seasoning
  • Herbs and spices (paprika, cumin, thyme, etc.)
  • Eggs, beaten (for a fried rice style hack)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare Ingredients:
   • Cook the rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
   • Chop any vegetables or protein you plan to add into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat Oil:
   • In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil or cooking oil over medium-high heat.
3. Saute Vegetables and Protein (if using):
   • Add any diced vegetables and cook until they begin to soften, about 3-5 minutes.
   • If adding protein (like chicken, shrimp, or tofu), cook until fully cooked through.
4. Seasoning:
   • Season with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you like. Garlic can be added here for extra flavor.
5. Add Rice:
   • Add the cooked rice to the skillet or pan. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and mix well with the vegetables and protein.
6. Optional: Make it a Fried Rice Hack:
   • Push the rice mixture to the side of the pan and pour beaten eggs into the cleared area.
   • Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix into the rice mixture.
7. Final Seasoning:
   • Drizzle with soy sauce or tamari for seasoning and additional flavor, adjusting to taste.
8. Serve:
   • Once everything is heated through and well combined, remove from heat and serve hot.

Tips:​

• This rice hack is incredibly flexible. Feel free to adjust the ingredients and seasonings based on what you have on hand and your personal preferences.
• You can also add a splash of sesame oil for extra flavor, or garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro for freshness.

Enjoy your customized rice hack as a quick and satisfying meal or side dish!

Hello all! Love rice hacks! I think rinsing the rice thoroughly before cooking can remove excess starch and make it fluffier, though some prefer the starch for stickier rice.
