Forgot to season rice! Now what!

What kind of rice?

Ah, normal white rice.

and what else are you having?

if just rice alone, i’d add soy sauce (go easy).

during my poverty-stricken student days, rice and soy sauce was my standard evening meal.

Hot sauce, butter, or seasoned salt? All three together might be interesting.

Haha good suggestion guys. What i did was throw salt water over it and turned the fire on agin. Im thinking i ruined the rice though :(

I might be eating it with beef and beans.

Butter and salt should be sufficient.

If I was eating it with beef and beans, I’d add a dash of hot sauce (I might do that anyway.).

You could gave just stirred in some salt.

Saute some chopped onions and stir it up in the rice and then add some salt.

I’d put green onions or peas and teriyaki sauce in it.

Salt is the worst. Try cumin, a little curry, and turmeric for a slightly Indian flavor.

I would have added sugar and cinnomen and a little milk or cream and made it rice pudding.

Pour curry sauce over it.

Raisins, cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract and milk will make rice pudding.

I see @Austinlad beat me to it.

Yes, I beat you to it, @WestRiverrat, but you spelled cinnamon correctly.
;-)

Oh, man, you have the beginnings of literally thousands of great recipes right there.

I predict this thread goes on for days…

You could just go to a wedding and throw it!

I dunno the sky is the limit, I usually wait to season my rice until it’s finished cooking. @stratman37 said it, you have the beginnings of thousands of possibilities.

I like adding sweet, fatty, spicy and salty components (balanced) to my rice or with my rice.

Sea salt or kosher salt is better added after the fact than table salt. Sprinkle it on, toss it in, and the rice sit in the pot with the lid on for another 3–5 minutes so the steam from the rice can dissolve the salt. Or you can add a saltless seasoning mix to the rice at this point and let the steam work its magic.

@janbb – I wouldn’t throw cooked rice though….!

Coming from an Asian tradition, we rarely season it (unless it’s a fried rice dish).
If the rice of good quality, it should have its own fragrance. (the Japanese seem to be particularly good at this.)
Rice then complements the food, which is the main focus of the meal.

But, if you are going to season it, I suggest a paste that is made of chopping spring onion, grated ginger, lots of salt and enough oil to make it paste-like. I could happily just eat that with lots of rice.

You could also serve it with some wasabi and Ahi.

If you’re eating it with beef and beans, why not put some salsa and or some sauteed onions and green peppers onto it?

Hahaha I was very surpised to see so many replies after I had my solution. The rice actually came out well seasoned after I poured a cup of seasoned water over it, then left the fire on without the lid so the water would vapor quickly. all great suggestions. I`m actually new to cooking, and am experimenting with lots of stuff.

What is seasoned water? (Soup?)

oh no, I mixed seasoning into water and poured it over the rice. The seasoning consisted of salt, onions, and garlic.

@robdamel Experimenting is the best way to learn what’s good or not. Just go for it.
