Did you know that something like 90% of the worlds population eats rice every day. It's super cheap and easy to make and leaves you feeling full and satisfied. The problem with far too many people though, is that they just don't know how to prepare it or dress it up.
Use 1.5 cups of water for every 1 cup of plain rice and always remember to toss in about half a teaspoon of salt. Now if that sounds too basic for you then try replacing the salt with about one teaspoon of chicken or beef bullion.
Let it come to a boil then turn the stove down to low and let the rice simmer with the pots lid on until you can't any more water. Once it has cooked this far (about ten minutes) consider tossing some sliced tomatoes or ground meat balls on top to cook the rest of the way with it.
More dinner ideas for rice are to sprinkle paprika or chili powder on top during its last cooking minutes. Also consider cooking up a can of soup or stew and ladling that over the finished rice and serving it as a main course.
To make sure that your rice is cooked thoroughly and not crunchy and uncooked in the middle of the grain, simply prepare a large pot of boiling water. After the rice has cooked down to the point that all the water has been absorbed in, let the pot of rice sit in the boiling water for about 5 minutes.
Or you can make it easier to use rice in your dinner recipes by preparing it ahead of time and keeping a container of it in the fridge. When dinner time rolls around, simply scoop the cold rice into a hot pan, toss in a little water then heat it up on the stove.
