Creative Rice & Noodle Recipes (No Casserole or Spaghetti!)

[sprankels]

Fried rice:
Cook your rice however you do ahead of time. Then, in a pan, add a drizzle or two of oil. Add veggies (I do diced onions, small diced carrots every time; then I add what I may have in fridge: broccoli, shredded cabbage) to cook until tender (about 3 mins). Push to side of pan; add 2 eggs (3 people in my family) to pan to fry. Break up the fried egg, stir with veggies, add cooked rice, and some soy sauce, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Keep stirring, incorporating all together. If I have frozen peas, I'll add about a third of a cup in now and heat through.

Rice pilaf! The recipe I use (long gone as have made it so many times) uses rice, spaghetti/vermicelli broken up browned in butter, bouillon cubes, boiling water, tight lid, cook until tender. I do not add seasoning or veggies, can use beef or chicken bouillon (I like beef better but depends on the rest of the meal). When liquid absorbed and rice/pasta cooked, stir in a little more butter and enjoy. Easy to change quantity. I cook for "no cheesers" so this is a win here!

Stuffed Bell Peppers (,ground turkey or hamburger meat)
Taco& rice skillet
Enchiladas and you can make your own Mexican rice to go in them or serve on the side. What I like to do is make enchiladas like usual but instead of using tortillas to roll it, just make some rice and mix it in.
Also, I make this for the kids and I, we love it. I call it Cajun goulash
1smoked sausage (whatever kind you like, my fav is Beasley's) cooked
1c rice prepared how rice is usually prepared (I usually add a bay leaf and italian seasoning for flavor and a pinch of salt)
1can lesueur tender baby carrots (any kind works those are just my favorite), corn, chopped onions, sauteed. cook the carrots in a little chicken bouillon for extra flavor
Mix together so good!

I make pork chops over a bed of rice.
Put pork chops in oven pan with cream of mushroom soup on top.
Make a box of stovetop stuffing (I prefer chicken flavored for the pork chops)
Put the stuffing on top of the pork chops and cream of mushroom soup. Bake at 375 for about 45 minutes. Serve over rice
It’s my absolute favorite meal

@jafid2005 I am NOT a pork chop person, but there’s something about this that makes my mouth water.

Cubed chicken, steamed broccoli, rice and a bottle of any Asian sauce. We prefer LaChoys sweet and sour. Walmart even has frozen premade egg rolls you could toss on the side
