White rice is a good source of carbohydrates and a handy and versatile grain to keep on hand as it stores well.
Here are 5 things you can do with white rice:
-
Beans and Rice — Cook rice, add in canned, drained black beans and cilantro and top with salsa.
-
Fried rice — Use cooked rice and add in beaten egg, vegetables and a source of protein (tofu, tempeh, chicken, beef, shrimp) to make into fried rice.
-
Use leftover cooked rice to make rice pudding by cooking with milk, butter, vanilla, sugar and egg and adding in raisins or dried cranberries for a pop of flavor.
