SPICY STEAMED RICE WITH CUMIN AND LIME JUICE



Spicy Steamed Rice With Cumin and Lime Juice image

I initially got part of this combination from a Food Network show, and have added a few things along the way. I call it "Spicy Rice" and my husband loves it. It makes normal steamed rice much less bland. The step by step process allows all the ingredients to cook into the rice. I usually take into consideration the entree I'm serving it with before I add the Cajun Seasoning. It's a personal preference. All ingredient amounts can be adjusted according to taste.

PERFECT STEAMED RICE

If you don't have a rice cooker, this is the way to prepare absolutely perfect rice. The liquid cooks down before you cover the pot, so you have more control over how much liquid evaporates; this makes all the difference between mushy and fluffy rice.

BEST STEAMED RICE



Best Steamed Rice image

Three simple steps to steamed rice.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 cups water
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in white rice and salt. Return to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until rice is tender and has absorbed all the water, 16 to 18 minutes (check only toward the end of cooking time). The rice will be studded with steam holes when ready.
  • Remove from heat, and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, works best for this recipe. These varieties have a light, fluffy texture that will absorb the flavors of the spices and lime juice.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking: This will remove any starch from the rice, which can make it sticky. Rinsing the rice will also help to prevent it from clumping together.
  • Use a tight-fitting lid on the pot: This will help to trap the steam and ensure that the rice cooks evenly.
  • Let the rice rest for a few minutes after cooking: This will allow the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and will also help to prevent it from sticking together.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains of rice and make it light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Spicy steamed rice with cumin and lime juice is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of spices and lime juice gives the rice a bright and tangy flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover rice. Simply reheat the rice in a steamer or microwave, then add the spices and lime juice. You can also add other ingredients to this dish, such as chopped vegetables, cooked meat, or seafood.
