The picture looks great! I’ll have to try your recipe. I recently tried a wild rice salad recipe and did not care for it. Not sure what happened there…
What spices did you decide to add to this?

We have a small rice cooker which is perfect for most meals (two of us). I think your combo sounds great.

That rice looks delish!! This will be going in my rice box tonight. I am a rice nut, seriously…it’s about all I eat. LOL…and I’ve never shared that on TR, I’m such a goof.

As usual, Sandy, you make everything look delicious!!
We use our steamer all the time don’t know we ever got by without it. :D Regarding rice… generally I cook rice on the stove and it’s done within an hour and it’s yummy. Basmati is a favorite and often instead of using water, I use a chicken and vegetable broth that I’ve made. Delicious!

Thank you for the rice cooker tips! I want to love my rice cooker but my rice sticks to the bottom of the cooker. Do I need to add oil? What am I doing wrong.

Thanks

Hi Sandy,

I’m with you…rice cookers are the best!

It’s so strange but I actually resisted getting one for a long time…and my husband is of Asian descent! Can you imagine?!? What was I thinking! LOL!

My M-I-L gave me one when we first got married but I never used it. It just seemed so bulky to me and I simply didn’t want to add another appliance to my already packed counter tops. Besides, I “thought” I was making perfectly good rice on the stove. Can you believe, I even gave the rice cooker back to my M-I-L so that she could pass it on to my husband’s aunt who needed a new one.

Finally, I broke down because I kept reading things about how much folks loved their rice cookers. And once I used one, I loved it to – – – and now all my friends have them too! I can’t believe I resisted using one for so long. They really do make life so easy. It sits out on my kitchen island all the time. Having a big pot of steaming rice ready – and perfect – whenever you need it is a godsend. With the rice cooked and ready to go, I always have the beginnings of a great meal. And you are right – – – you can cook a lot more than just rice in a rice cooker. I once saw Wolfgang Puck cook a cake in his rice cooker!!! The one I use even has a steamer basket! The brand is Nutri-Ware.

It’s called the “18-cup Whole Grain Gourmet”.

Love your rice recipe today. We hare having salmon for dinner tonight and I am going to make your rice to go along with it. Thanks!

Have a great weekend.

Love,
Mary
