It’s a staple in many different types of cuisines, and it’s also a pantry essential you may have plenty of at the moment. Truth be told, whether it’s wild, brown, black, red or the fluffy white stuff, rice is nice enough on its own (and yes, rice is healthy, too!). But if you’re bored with plain old grains, you may be wondering how to diversify your portfolio of rice dishes.
