Yeah you can add whatever. I avoided rice because I've been living off rice for quite a long time and I'm getting sick of it haha. I would recommend steamed/boiled veggies as a side dish.
Hmm, I can barely use Lemmy just as a poster. I don't think I'd be up to creating a community.
But I've had a question about rice I've wanted to ask for a long time, but I didn't know who to ask. Maybe you would know: is it possible to make a decent rice dish using a powdered soup mix? I'm often left with rice and soup mix and it's tempting to mix them, but I can't afford to waste food if it's inedible.
I'll never get sick of rice, my kids might start a revolt though :)
Hmmm, what you could try is to make congee(rice porridge) out of both of them? Usually you boil the rice with chicken stock and ginger until the rice becomes mushy. Then you add some meat for the final step and let it boil along. Maybe you could replace the stock with soup powder? It depends on the soup mix though and it's definitely an experiment. But in general congee is very versatile and you don't need a lot of rice for a full meal.
I'll definitely look into congee. Cheers!
