Easy and delectable rice side dish recipes. Always wondering what to serve with your main course. With a little imagination and a few well chosen added ingredients, rice can be a delicious side dish that compliments any main meal it accompanies. 

White rice is generally a healthy carb that gives you instant energy. But it is much more than just a carbohydrate. It is cholesterol free. An excellent source of several minerals and vitamins and packed with protein. If you choose to associate yourself with the use of brown rice, the health benefits soar.

Brown rice is one of the healthy foods of the world. It is high in fiber, contains the sought after omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, high in protein. With a healthy helping of calcium, iron, magnesium and phosphorus to name a few of its vitamin inclusions, brown rice makes a super side dish.

If you further mill, process and polish brown rice and remove more layers, the end result is white rice.

Although brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice (about double the time), your body will feel it is well worth the wait.

The difference between cooking white rice and brown rice is, it cooks longer and in more water. That’s pretty simple. Usually you cook 1 cup of brown rice in 2 1/2 cups water for about 45 to 55 minutes (when all water has absorbed) Never stir rice during cooking time, mushy rice will be your reward if you do.
