Rice.....that tastes good? Seasoning? What's your recipe?

[PaulHeyman]

As has been mentioned, fresh made rice is 10x easier to put down. I love putting salt, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice in there. Give it a little chipotle Mexican vibe.

Anyone concerned about Arsenic in rice?

No

 

[NorthMich]

You should be.

 

[MindlessWork]

You should be.

Arsenic should leach out and be washed away in rinse water.

 

[RunTrenFckTens]

You should be.

Me personally, I don't subscribe to arsenic.

 

[NorthMich]

Well, it subscribes to you, so that doesn’t matter

 

[NorthMich]

You can rinse away some arsenic if you soak overnight and rinse and rinse.

helpful if you avoid Texas rice. California is cleaner.

Lol

That’s true

I'm a big fan of adding rice vinegar. Gives it a nice, tangy flavor and helps keep it moist for the week of meal prep.

Jasmine rice with just a little butter and salt or a little soy sauce. Jasmine is the shit. Fuck brown rice. I ate brown rice like a dumb gym bro for years. Brown rice can suck a dick. Very little difference nutritionally but night and day difference in taste and when you’re on the 3rd day of the same pot.

I wash the fuck out of rice, my trick is to use a large wisk. Cold water and wisk it until the water comes up clear. I know the cloudy water is mostly starch however I do about 10+ full rinses before I even cook with it. I hope I get most of it out although I'm not one to leave anything over night unless it's a big piece of meat being marinated. Rice just isn't worth being soaked for 24 hours, my option anyway.

Cleaning up the diet after this covid mess. I got lazy and had been eating trash.

Anyways, I've always avoided rice as a carb source. It's pretty bland and boring. A bodybuilding diet doesnt always equate to the most satisfying experience flavor wise. And I'm cool with that. I'm eating for a purpose, but I'm not afraid to spend plenty of time in the kitchen.

Been eating sweet potatoes, red skin potatoes, other veg and the occasional bread, very rarely some pastas for carbs. So any suggestions for other good carb sources or any tricks anyone has for adding some flavor to rice would be greatly appreciated.

Currently cutting on 2700 cals. Macros are at 45% protein 35% carb 20% fats. Sitting at about 230 pounds looking to diet down to around 210 to 215 probably. Cutting down to around 10% BF.

Thanks.

I'm no expert at cutting weight, any suggestions are welcome.

Usually add some stock to the rice and cook it in that so it holds all the flavour and isn't bland AF. You can get chicken/beef stock already made up, but i really rate using some you've already made naturally from roasting a joint of meat or a whole chicken (...if you have the time).

 

[Spokeonawheel]

I've done the chicken stock move. Not bad.
My biggest winner after I guess 8+ weeks of cutting now has been a pinch of olive oil, salt, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice.

I'm actually a pretty decent cook. Girlfriend invented this one tho. It's really good. Adds just enough flavor and goes great with chickens or the fishes

Just a thought on stocks and bone broths. You’re boiling out heavily metals that have accumulated in the animal from their food.

go organic meat and you can safely boil the cones for stock.

That's why I only use rooster broth. The roosters pass the heavy metals to the hens through their semen.

What??

that’s a joke, right ?

Big secret to rice is cooking it correctly.

After that, I’ve been mixing my meat in with my rice and stir frying it with soy sauce. Supremely edible.

Yessss this!!!!!! Been doing this and its amazing.

i do peppers, onion, squash, sautee then add rice, oil and soy sauce, and sautee more, and any meat i have. I went from thinking rice is boring to eating a whole box and wanting mloe.
