I was so grateful for the requests because it led me to this recipe that I can share with you, thank you.

I use flavored and 'spruced up' rice so much that I'm sharing a few pics with you to show you how you can use your flavorful rice recipe. It will also depend a lot on what you're serving with because the rice is so well flavored that you could quite literally eat it all on its own. One taste and you will be hooked! That's for anyone whose never never cooked flavorful before, it tastes amazing so give it a try

How To Make This Spicy Rice
So whether you're making a simple rice as a side dish or to serve with a curry you can take your rice from plain, to herbed and/or spicy by just adding a few ingredients.
- First cook your rice - here's an easy recipe for the perfect basmati rice
- Prepare the fresh herbs by deciding which ones you're using, even one herb makes a difference you don't have to use loads
- You can roughly chop your fresh herbs on a board once you've bundled them together. I prefer creating a bunch of the leafy ones (basil, parsley, dill) and gently tearing them apart and dropping into the pan. With herbs like thyme, oregano and rosemary, you can pull them off against the stem.
Pan Bits
When I shared this rice and salmon recipe I used my basmati rice recipe and simply tossed that into the pan where the salmon and sauce juices were left. Never toss those bits that look burnt in some oil, if you have cooked rice or cooked pasta, you have a meal with those juices!
Tips and Suggestions!
If you don't have any cooked rice or pasta at the time of the making a dish that's sure to leave you flavored bits and fat, like these Steak Nibbles never toss it out! Store it for when you do make a carb again because it goes great with mashed potato and peas too!
Remember that for fresh herbs you need about a teaspoon more of the required amount of dried herbs. This rice recipe used 2 fresh herbs, an Asian sauce (shared on the salmon recipe) and our Smell and Taste spice blends.
