Ok so I have experienced many times throughout my travels and various roommates that many people cannot cook rice. Many people use rice cookers and others use Uncle Ben's. It doesn't need to be this awful though and for use Gluten Free People, rice is a life saver.
So first of all there are lots of different types of rice and different types have different cooking directions so follow the directions on the package. Remember to reduce the heat. Do not wander too far from rice. You can hear when it is almost done and avoid the messy pot that is impossible to clean.
Once you have mastered rice (don't give up you will get it) then realize all things you can do with. You can use it in place of pasta or couscous. You can season it to your taste by adding seasonings while it is cooking or by replacing the water with broth. You can use it with chili, curry, stews and so on. It is really great addition to a salad when it is chilled. Also when you are looking to add a little more to your egg in the morning, mix up some veggies and left over rice. If you like you eggs friend then serve the veg rice on the side but you can also mix it into scrambled eggs or make and omelet.
Rice is great. I promise. Try different rices like Basmati, Wild Rice and others that your local grocery store provides. You will be amazed with the difference in taste. Enjoy!
