Can I use minute rice with the recipes that require you to use "regular, uncooked, long grain rice"?

Answer 1

Depending on the recipe, it could work. It would depend on how much liquid there is when you have to add the "regular" rice. I'm 50 and still can't cook rice. I use a Minute Rice cook book, or I find a recipe on-line.

Answer 2

They usually have the recipe give a 2 to 1 ratio for the rice.I think you could follow the recipe for the minute rice--1 for 1 and it come out.Try it and if it looks too watery,stir and turn oven higher to dry the liquid...Hope this helps...

Answer 3

Absolutely and I recommend the time saver. It tastes just as good! The trick is to cook the rice separately and add it to whatever recipe you are making.

Answer 4

I do. You just have to modify the recipe a bit by not adding the rice right away.

Answer 5

NO.

For one, Minute Rice is nasty and grainy. And it cooks in one minute. Real rice takes 20 minutes. MR would fall apart under extended cooking time required for real rice.

Answer 6

I would think the rice would get mushy. Get long grain rice, it's cheap. Graduate to brown rice over time as it's more flavorful and better for you (nutrients and fiber).

Answer 7

In most recipes it wont much matter, however you need to allow extra liquid for the rice to absorb and of course less cooking time is required for the rice part of it.

Answer 8

No. Minute is pre-cooked rice. It will be soft and mushy.

Answer 9

only if your recipe calls for precooked rice

Answer 10

nope. it cooks faster and will be overcooked and gummy.
