Yellow Rice
[blue_heading]Yellow Rice Per 1/2 Cup Cooked $0.21[/blue_heading]
Rice is something that is cheap, globally available, quick, familiar, and easily customizable for everyone. I enjoy trying out new exotic flavors so if your anything like me then this dish is right up your alley!
I enjoy rice as a side dish or as a filler food to combine with other foods so it’s really no surprise I find that when increasing and intensifying my rice it has a direct influence on the outcome of the whole dish and what I choose to pair it with. This rice is not only yellow helped from the Tumeric spice added here but has a sweet and savory flavor from the Cinnamon and Cumin.
The key to making great rice is really only two things imo…water to rice ration and toasting your rice before cooking it.
You never have to do exactly as I do; in fact. I recommend you try your own style on my recipes and report back any nice surprises you happen to create.

- After a few minutes add in your one cup of dry rice so we can just slightly toast them for an amazing flavor!
