Making rice the foundation of your meal solutions that can complement with easy to cook dishes, here's how you can get started.

STEP 1:

​Use one cup (250mL) U.S. par-boiled long grain rice. Follow instructions on the package of the rice product, for the amount of water (and salt, if preferred). You can also set timer for five minutes less than the instructions on the package.

STEP 2:

Once timer goes, stir in your choice of protein, veggies and sauce ingredients. You can increase to medium heat. Cooking can take from ten to twelve minutes, stir once or wait until fluids have been absorbed.

STEP 3:

Let stand, covered, an additional five minutes. Spoon garnish with your preferred 'extras'. Then serve.

Voila! Cooking healthier meals can be done much easier more than you think!
