Asian's
staple food that cannot be replaced in their daily lives is rice. A
cereal grain from a monocot plant, Oryza sativa. The seeds of the rice
are first milled using a rice huller to remove the chaff (the outer
husks of the grain) and then the bran (hard outer layer of grain).
Are
you one of these Asians whose daily meal is always complemented with
cups of cooked rice or just having it on your table occasionally?
If
you like this staple food of us, why not add more flavour into it when
cooking. I am sure it will give an interesting sensation in your mouth.
This
was just my experiment but the taste of the rice turned very appetising on my taste buds. Here are my ingredients before turning-on the rice
cooker.
You
will need 2 stalks of spring onions and cut according to your preference. Then, add
the sliced spring onions into the rice with the additional ingredients, 2 tbsps. of
olive oil, 1 tsp. of mixed herbs and spinach (frozen/fresh). On the other hand, to give it a spicy strength just sprinkle ground pepper/cayenne peper before mixing all ingredients. Cook and don't forget to stir before serving.
You
will appreciate not just the aromatic smell but more importantly, the
herbal flavour. I highly recommend the use of brown rice for weight
conscious people or to those creating/adhering a strict diet regime!
