I have one like NYCgal, and I often toss a handful of raisins and some edamame in with the rice when it's nearly cooked. The raisins plump nicely and absorb a fair bit of the water. Mix a quick vinaigrette and chop some peppers and green onions. When the rice is done cooking, stir it all together, and you've got a pretty decent rice salad. This will work with pretty much any grain or combo of veggies and varies immensely depending on what I've got on hand.

^I'm dying to try that raisin recipe, but with quinoa. Does anyone know where I could get the stuff? I'm going to start a high protein grain diet, and am going to try cutting out brown rice for a few weeks. Doing a detox (salad, seafood, and loads of water and green tea extract) and this sounds really yummy!

I just learned a new one:

Yogurt!

I sterilized a bowl, added some room temperature milk and a little room temperature yogurt (unsweetened goat yogurt, but any should do), and covered it with plastic wrap.

I put about an inch of water in the ricemaker and put the bowl into that, plugged it in but didn't press the cook button, only left it on the warming feature.

One hour on warming, then don't open it! Let it sit for 3-7 hours (the longer, the tangier), then still don't open it! One more hour on warming, then you've got yummy plain yogurt! I brought some to school and added a little honey. The rest is in my fridge, and I may try adding fruit or preserves, in lieu of sugar. This is great! I hope you like it

I like the recipe with white rice and water.
