Curry. Japanese curry rice, Thai curry (red or green). Indian curries like butter chicken, tikka masala, saag/palak.

In my opinion rice is usually best when you simply boil it then pair it with something flavourful.

Braised pork belly or mapo tofu over the top a bowl of rice is hard to beat.

Bean Squad Assemble!

I just throw bullshit in a rice cooker and it's usually good tbh

If rice is on the menu, it's impossible to cook a meal that's not delicious.

A really fast one I often do is just getting a ready tub of good Korma or something and then just add chickpeas to it, maybe spice it a bit more. Add meat if using and eat it with rice. I always cook my rice 10min plus 10min rest time, 300g rice and 600g water. Then make fried rice from the leftovers.

Panang curry is also so good even when using a ready made sauce.

Cooked rice in any sort of salad is also great.

Oven rice is great, just put the rice in an ovenpan, add all the other stuff you are going to eat like root veggies, vegetables, beans, meat on top and pour boiling water on the rice. Then roast the whole thing, takes about 30minutes.

Risotto is amazing, takes a bit longer. Any recipe probably works. Paella is amazing.

Rice porridge is so good.

Beans & rice

Any kind of veggie stew and rice

Really most things work so well with rice, kinda depends on what else you have to work with? That would help with sharing a recipe.

not a recommendation but "good food recipes" reminds me of trump tweeting about "bad food restaurants" and now my brain is melting

you'll want different sauces but any solids you'd have with pasta you can have with rice

I usually have eggs over rice for breakfast with quick pickled cabbage / onion / peppers / garlic that I put in a large glass jar with a sealed lid and that lasts me over a week adding it to most of my meals.

Mexican red rice goes great with anything, especially

What kinda rice you got?

For most rice, not knowing how to make coconut rice is the 12th form of liberalism. Pick a recipe you like, sauté some vegetables, put ‘em together and you got an easy comfort food.

If you have a short-grain rice (my favorite is Calrose), just add 1/2 cup rice vinegar and a some sugar for every 2 cups of rice and you get sushi rice.

You can speed up making fried rice if you plop steamed rice in an air fryer. The texture comes out a little crunchier, but it's good!

Oven Chicken strips covered in sweet chilli sauce (usually stick them in tuppaware with a glob of it and shake it). Super simple but I love it

Are you open to meat, because I like to make spaghetti rice with hamburger, it's v. simple and filling for a cheap meal.
