Hey!

Now that the novelty of having brown rice whenever I want it has worn off, I am looking for ways to make it more interesting. Anyone have good ideas for spices or combinations of spices? Or good (and easy) sauce recipes? I miss soy sauce.

Thanks!

Curry.

Basil, Oregano, Parsley, sage.. top with Parmesan. Throw in some garlic powder too.

Use chicken or vegetable broth or bullion instead of water.

Add some tomato paste and cilantro ( do not decrease water), some chili powder too if you like it spicy.

Sometimes I throw in a little butter or olive oil with spices to get a creamier effect, only a little though.

Spanish Saffron.

Make sure you scrub the heck out of it after Curry or saffron though, as that stuff likes to linger.

Sweet-n-sour barbecue sauce over small hamburger patties - on top of rice with more sauce.

Sautee green onions and garlic in butter or Ghee and add to cooked rice with salt and pepper to taste. If you don't want to bother with fresh garlic, sprinkle with garlic powder. You can also precook chopped celery and/or carrots (cut in less than pea-sized pieces) and add them to the mix.

Mix leftover rice with cooked breakfast sausage - lightly sauteed to heat - one of my breakfast favorites.

Rehydrate sun-dried tomatoes (soak in hot water for about 5 minutes). Cut in small pieces. Add sauteed onions and green peppers (cooked in olive oil). Season with oregano and basil. Add a little tomato water to moisten and heat on low until herbs are rehydrated. Stir into cooked rice. I like to add black olives - but that's just me - they go with about anything IMO.

La Choy Soy Sauce is gluten free, and easily available.

I have alot of Japanese pilaf recipies for the rice cooker that use soy sauce, mirin(sweet cooking rice wine) and sake to season the liquid in addition to chicken and/or various asian vegetables. These recipies are formulated to work with sticky short grain white rice but might work with brown rice as it has a little more body to it, like the sticky rice does. You might have to adjust the amount of liquid though, if using brown rice If you use these kinds of ingredients I can share the recipies if you'd like.

I also have a recipie for a pork sausage, sweet potatoe, apple casserole that tastes good with or on brown rice.

We make plain rice in the rice cooker, and then top it on each plate with a splash of soy sauce (we like San-J, but La Choy works, too), a splash of sesame oil, a pinch of sugar, and lots of choped green onions and cilantro.

You can also make Sushi Rice: mix equal parts rice wine vinegar and sugar, add a little salt, bring to a boil, mix with hot rice (stir well!), and add cooked frozen mixed vegies, like peas and carrots. Yum!

Hmmmm... I'm going to have to try that. I've never actually had Sushi (don't like the thought of raw fish!) - but this sounds like it might be good... maybe with cooked frozen stir-fry veggies???

The Great Value Brand of soy sauce at Wal-Mart is also labeld gluten free and taste great! I can only find it at their superstore though, not all of them carry it.

I've been experimenting with different types of rice---Lundberg sells gourmet rice varieties. I like Wehani rice and absolutely love the black/mahogany rice mix. Actually, I've switched to Lundberg recently. I like their plain brown rice *so* much better than any other brand of brown rice. Seems a bit spoiled to insist on eating gourmet rice . . .but hey, it is the only thing I can eat in the grains department.

I even eat rice as a breakfast cereal. the black rice mix tastes really good with a bit of succanat (unprocessed evaporated sugar cane juice) and whole milk and some cinnamon.

Another idea for leftover white rice (works best with glutinous rice): add some oil and rice flour and a bit of water. Form into patties. Fry with a bit of oil on a griddle or a non stick pan.

I've seen a recipe in which you add cumin seed, coconut. . .possibly coriander too, I can't recall.

I've made these patties before with added sweetener + cinnamon and nutmeg . . perhaps allspice. I fry it in butter---tastes good with maple syrup.

I like to use boullion.

Italian herbs are a good option as well.

Mexican herbs are another option - particularly in combination with tomatoes.

A pilaf with veggies (carrots, onions, bell peppers?) is another option...

Two of my brothers-in-law are from Iran and they make delicious rice dishes. Try adding cooked lentils, sauteed onions, garlic, butter and salt to taste. Or sautee onions, carrots and raisins in butter or olive oil, stir into rice and add some chopped pistachios.

My kids' favorite way to eat brown rice is in "Plov". Cook brown rice. While the rice is cooking, sautee an onion, add as much boneless, skinless chicken (bite-sized pieces) as you'll eat, toss in some garlic and a LOT of grated carrot. Salt to taste. Simmer until rice is done. Stir the chicken mixture into the rice. Simple, but yummy. Don't skip on the carrots, they make it sweet and rich tasting.

wow, Liz, that sounds so good,it's making me HUNGRY!!!!

For the rice cooker I like using Basmatti Brown Rice and add broth (chicken, vegetable) and then I throw in any vegetables I have around. I throw in mushrooms, chopped brocolli, I ususally have a container of dried onions around so I throw in a handful or so of those too. BTW, I don't add more liquid due to the additions either.

Then I may top with soy sauce, or even the Thai Kitchen Sweet Chili Sauce for a spicy flavor.

I also like to get those Tyson Chicken Tenders from Costco and I boil em, chop em, and add them to the rice after the rice is cooked and then I have a simple, complete meal for those busy days :o

Herb-ox Boulllion cubes are gluten free. I also can add garlic salt. Sometimes I put Kraft shredded cheese on top and nuke it in the microwave. Be careful, some brands of shredded cheese contain gluten to prevent caking. I also mix the rice with cooked frozen veggies.

ok i dont want to get anyones hopes up, but i have heard multiple "rumors" that there is a gluten-free soy sauce? Have yo ulooked into that??? But, i use garlic, butter and mix in veggies.

I like cooking one cup brown rice with one cup lentils and about 3.5 cups water. Olive oil, balsamic and sea salt are tasty additions after it's cooked. :)

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.
