This copycat Chipotle brown rice recipe is an upgrade to your conventional (and, let's face it, plain) side dish of rice at dinner. Brown rice provides a nutritious, fiber-packed alternative to white rice. And the cilantro and lime provide an extra dash of delicious Mexican flavor.

This Thai basil fried rice is a staple of Thai cooking and a great use for leftover rice. Adjust the spices to your tastes. I get Thai basil from a local Asian market. It has a different flavor than regular basil and makes all the difference in this recipe. It is fast and fairly easy to make but requires constant stirring.

These smashed dumpling tacos are tacos filled with ground pork and ginger, then fried smashburger-style, and topped with cilantro and tri-color slaw.

I am a terrible rice cook, but once I tried this method I can be confident that it will turn out every time!

These smash dumpling tacos are your favorite pork dumplings simplified—no rolling and tucking—by spreading the filling on flour tortillas, then cooking them smash-style. You get all the flavor, and then, because you’ve used a tortilla, you call it a taco.

Savory Indian rice flavored with toasted and fragrant whole spices and fried onions. Soaking the basmati rice before cooking makes all the difference. Serve with your favorite Indian curry or dal. Make sure you warn people not to bite into the whole spices!
