Our plant-based paella is a great veggie alternative to the classic Spanish dish. Normally you would use a paella rice for this dish, but we used our pudding rice and it turned out spectacularly. It’s super easy to prepare and it feeds up to 6 people!
Our refried beans is one of our staple recipes. Not only do they taste delicious served on a bed of fluffy white rice, but they taste amazing in a wrap or served on top of nachos!
If you’re a fan of sushi then you’ll love Onigiri! These cute little stuffed rice balls are made using sushi rice, toasted nori sheets and furikake seasoning. We filled ours with sliced radish and garlic tofu, but you can stuff them with whatever you fancy. We also love adding tempeh, raw veggies, seaweed salad, umeboshi plums and many other lip-smacking combinations!
We bought an Onigiri rice mould online to make ours, but you can also use your hands to shape the rice instead if you prefer. You can make and serve these immediately – or they will keep for the next day too.
We’ve listed two ways to cook your sushi rice. We love using our instant pot/pressure cooker to make sushi rice as you can add, cook and leave to cool. But if you don’t have one, then the hob works just fine too.
Our rice and red bean soup is packed with nourishing, hearty ingredients. It’s really simple to make and it’s a great recipe to batch cook at the beginning of the week. We love serving ours with a thick slice of sourdough bread.
Sweet & Spicy Cashew and Tofu Stir-Fry with Brown Rice
Brown rice is the perfect pairing for our gorgeous Sweet & Spicy Cashew Tofu stir fry. It’s packed with satisfying protein and fibre meaning you stay feeling fuller for longer!
You can’t beat a good risotto recipe, and our mushroom and thyme risotto is one of our favourites. So simple to make, and great for entertaining a crowd. Serve with a flurry of freshly grated parmesan sprinkled over the top.
Thai Green Chickpea Curry with Black Rice
Our Thai Green Chickpea Curry with Black Rice is bursting with flavours. We love the gorgeous clash of colours with the dramatic black rice and the colourful chickpea curry. This is also a great recipe to batch cook at the beginning of the week!
Chilled Rice Pudding with Fruit Coulis
We re-created this gorgeous traditional Hungarian recipe known as ‘Rizskoch’. It’s super simple to make and tastes delicious! It’s a great way to use our white jasmine rice! Alternatively you can sub with pudding rice!
