RICE WITH FRESH HERBS



Rice with Fresh Herbs image

Ten Dollar Dinners viewers know how much I love my $5 rice cooker and the perfectly steamed rice it makes. Boiling rice is another easy way of making rice that yields a firmer and less starchy texture. You can even boil the rice ahead of time, refrigerate it for a few hours, and then finish it with the butter before serving warm or at room temperature. For the prettiest presentation, wait to stir in the herbs until just before serving.

Time 25m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon
kosher salt, plus extra if needed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, chives, cilantro, mint, or tarragon, or a combination of many

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and 1 tablespoon of the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain through a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Shake the sieve to drain as much water as possible.
  • Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the rice and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula to coat all the rice with the butter. Once the rice is warmed through, about 3 minutes, transfer the rice to a serving bowl and add the herbs plus additional salt, if needed. Stir with a fork to incorporate and fluff the rice and serve warm or at room temperature.

HERB RICE IN THE RICE COOKER RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Herb Rice in the rice cooker Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by TLoya

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup uncooked brown or white rice
2 cups water (or the 2 cup line in your rice cooker)
1 tbs butter
1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
2 tbs soy sauce
1/4 onion chopped or minced
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp marjoram

Steps:

  • Rinse rice and let sit in water for at least 20 minutes. Drain it. Put rice and all other ingredients in your rice cooker. Set it for the length time for the amount and type of rice you are cooking. My Aroma rice cooker has a brown rice setting that I use when cooking brown rice. Brown rice will take a lot longer to cook; but it's way better for you and tastes great with this recipe. The total time shown to make this is for brown rice. It will take a lot less time if you use white rice (basmati is a good choice).
