Hi,

This is just a suggestion...I like to make a red bean rice. It is almost the same method and ingredients as cook-up rice..however you use just enough water to cook the rice without having to strain it. You can add a variation of different beans for a different taste, and add saffron to make the colour of the rice yellow. The texture of the rice should be loose and scattered, (if not over cooked).This type of rice can be eaten with both baked or curried dishes. Hope this helps!
