Why hello again. Let me just begin today's adventure by saying, I LOVE WHITE RICE! It is definitely a staple in the poor man's recipe book. I remember eating fried hot dogs and white rice! (My kids LOVE it with a little BBQ sauce) Now when cooking for a family of 5, white rice can be a hassle. :-)
But have no fear, your Crockpot is here! I was very iffy about rice in a Crockpot. Rice cooking that long concerned me. Rice flavored paste is what came to mind when I decided to try this. :-/
So, on to the recipe. It calls for the same ratio we are all used to - 2 cups of water to every 1 cup of rice.
Step 1} Rub your Crockpot with butter lightly.
Step 2} Pour your rice in.
Step 3} Add water and a pinch of salt.
Step 4} Cook on high for 2 to 3 hours depending on your Crockpot.
***I cooked 2 cups of rice with 4 cups of water. It took about 2 hours and 45 minutes. And VOILA! It was rice just like at my favorite Chinese buffets!
We had some leftover chicken, and so I threw it in the wok to warm it up. Added bell peppers and some Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce, and called it a day. I had purchased some fortune cookies from Walmart, and that was on the side and the kids LOVED it. (As did us adults.) I will say this is being added to my list of handy "GO-TO" Crockpot recipes, with a side of WOK work. :-D
