rice craving

[lozina]

I have this odd craving to eat rice for lunch, but don't know any good recipes. I mean, I know how to cook plain rice but I just don't know any fancy recipes to give it some extra flavor.

Do you know any quick rice recipe I can do during a short lunchbreak? (I go home for lunch- never eat out)

edit: typo

use chicken broth to make the rice instead of water
or throw in a packet of instant chicken soup into the water
or use a packet of onion soup mix

What do you have in the fridge? You can always go for some simple stir-fry.

You can also add something to the rice to flavor it while it's cooking.

hmm not enough veggies currently for a good stir fry, plus I get a little lazy to clean and cut all the veggies. But I should really start doing that...

I really like this kind called bomba rice. Its these weird oval shaped rice granules, and they are really tasty. Not quick though. Just make a quick pot of twice as many cups of water as rice (regular white rice works best), get to a boil, bring down to low heat immediately after you hit boil, and let simmer for around 15 mins. Add butter and salt.

quick and easy fried rice.

get some frozen mixed veggies. put them in a skillet with oil of your choice, let them melt a bit, put in rice, put in soy sauce for flavor. you can also scramble an egg into the mix as well.

fried rice.

If you are using a ricemaker then you can try steaming something on top of the rice. I believe there is a term in some asian language for this, but I don't recall. I think it's often done with sausage, for example.
