    What to put on brown rice???

    What are some suggestions for things to put in brown rice to make it not taste so damn boring? Ive found that brown rice is not near as versatile as white rice without adding butter to it.

    Teriyake, soy, bbq sauce (watch the sugar), and also you can try dicing the chicken and mixing it in with the rice. Also, try some whole wheat pasta with non-fat sauce.

    I honestly don't care too much about watching salt and i think that putting dumpling sauce on brown rice makes it taste amazing. I'm yet to find any in a supermarket so stock up next time ur in chinatown or just ask for extra if u order out.

    I don't add anything to it... I boil it with water and eat it plain, but I like it

    You could add some low-sodium tamari... soy sauce nowadays is very bad for you because they cut it with wheat and lots of chemicals. Tamari is the good stuf

    get some 98 percent fat free mushroom soup, mix with dry rice and bake it on 350 for about 45 min to an hour....hardly no added cals and makes the rice softer and have more flavor.

    if u really wanna enjoin rice brown or white, have it fried with eggs and some a little bit of veggie. Then add on top of it some chicken or beef curry cooked with hot green peppers and Greek spices ( with some brown beans on a side if u would like). man, u will never get tired of that. Give it a try.

    You can make a calorie free and fat free sauce using just apple cider vinegar and sugar/Splenda. Get 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar and a 1/3 cup of sugar/Splenda and heat it up on the stove in a skillet. Make sure they're mixed well (sugar should mostly dissolve in vinegar). Pour over your rice. It's potent stuff and works awesome for salads too! If you're trying to keep your digestive system in a more basic PH environment (more effective for muscle growth), you may want to avoid the dressing or add something alkaline to the meal like a grapefruit as well.

    Spray pot w butter flavored pam.
    I cup of rice in hot pot w out liquid. Stir constantly until rice starts to brown.
    Take garlic, shallot, pepper, a little cayenne and mix into dry, slightly browned rice.
    Then take the juice of 1 to 2 lemons and mix with a splash of worcesthire(sp?) sauce and 6 to 8 ounces of non fat, low sodiun chicken broth. Cook till done. It tastes amazing!!!

    Don't mock it until you have tried it, try adding low fat yogurt.

    Mostly -

    Cumin, paprika, pepper, sea salt, cayenne, sometimes garlic.

    Put all spices in initially when you put the rice in, it cooks up nicely. I cook like 2C raw at a time. (~ roughly 8C cooked. Lasts me a few days.)
