What can a do with steamed rice?

It pairs well with a lot of food. It's a great side to eat with your meats. If I'm having steak or chicken, I usually whip up a side of plain rice as a sort of carb and palette cleanser.

Another thing I like to do is mix meats in with my steamed rice to make really ghetto fried-rice recipes.

Then, if I'm having leftovers, I'll usually just throw it on top of some rice. I usually do this with things like chili for a really tasty faux-curry.

Or don't buy a fucking rice steamer and make good rice.

Making Rice

2 Cups of Basmati Rice (Costco has great bulk rice)
3 Cups of water
salt in water if you want

Rinse rice in cold water in strainer/sieve for 1 minute or until the water runs clear. Boil 3 cups of water and place rice in pot. High heat until it boils reduce to gentle simmer (low heat) and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes and turn off the element. Let it rest for 15 on the element. Don’t lift the lid. Fluff rice and place in a container for overnight storage in the fridge. All fried rice requires day old rice at least.

...or you could have a rice cooker which gives you perfect rice every time with just the press of a button

rice cookers are more than worth it if you eat a lot of rice

you can use them to steam veggies too

And you have something else to scrub clean. Enjoy pissing away a corner of your counter.

like you don't have to clean the pot you made the rice in?

i keep it in the cupboard

i live in a studio apartment and even i have plenty of room for it

Rice is a natural accomp to Japanese Curry and Thai Curry. On cheap nights, open a can of chili or ranch beans.

Though personally I'm trying to eat less rice, eat more vegetables, etc. If you don't see yourself eating a lot of rice then I wouldn't bother.
