In Praise of Brown Rice

As long as it's thoroughly picked over and rinsed (and preferably pre-soaked), and then well-cooked, it's a great food I need to get back to preparing. Tasty, nutritious, gently high-fiber.

(Even though this is an "in praise of," I don't really mind if people want to post anti-brown-rice rants here too, not that anyone is likely to be overly concerned about my feelings in the matter, but anyway.)

Jasmine Brown Rice in a Pineapple Coconut Red Curry with deep fried tofu, carrots, and other vegetables. Nothin' better.

Perfect with black beans, tomato, bell pepper, and a sharp cheddar. Mmmm...

IF you boil brown rice in chicken broth and add just a little bit of butter (or margarine if you're me) just prior to serving, like, when you're fluffing it up with a fork, OMG, it whups white rice's ass. I should try it with a soy-based broth to see if it's equally rockin'. Anyway. I've had brown rice prepared that way just on its own for dinner, and it really does hit the spot.

trader joe's has this brown rice and vegetable microwavable bowl thing that I am addicted to. Do you think microwaving all these ingredients somehow destroys their nutritional properties?

Basmati brown rice is among the foods most excellent in all ways, of which there are always too few, however numerous they may be.

Yes. Yes I do.

Tonight for dinner, basmati brown rice steamed with a few drops of toasted sesame oil, with chicken korma. Rice, sesame oil, and korma sauce from TJs. Mmmmm.

Short grain brown rice is awesome.

brown wins, because houston sucks.

I did homemade brown noodles in chicken soup last night, they were lovely.

Brown rice is the reason those pressure cookers were invented. ~20 minutes.

i seriously pity people who will not just admit to themselves that brown rice is the superior rice

― k3vin k., Saturday, 17 October 2015 16:18 (nine years ago)

i love any and all rices but when i just want a simple "comforting" bowl of rice i go with white. may be 'cause the blandness works so well with soy sauce or a little fish sauce

Brown rice is great when you don't have to make it
