Rice is a versatile grain that pairs well with all types of ethnic cuisines. That’s why you’ll find there are many different types of rice recipes for side dishes. Whether you’re preparing an entrée with Mexican flair, a traditional Moroccan stew or an Asian-inspired stir-fry, there’s no denying that rice is the perfect accompaniment and our healthy rice dishes are the ideal way to round out a heart healthy dinner. We also have recipes that use ingredients similar to rice, such as quinoa, farro and barley, which can easily be interchanged in rice side dishes. 

One of our most popular rice dishes, Ginger Brown Rice, is easy to make but anything but basic. Another favorite is Stir-Fried Rice, or this lower-carb version of Cauliflower Rice. If you want to get creative, switch up the grain you use instead of rice to make risotto, such as in this hearty Quinoa Risotto or vibrant Tomato Barley Risotto. Our fresh-tasting Asparagus Rice Bowl makes for a delicious vegetarian entrée or it may just become one of your favorite easy rice side dishes. Whichever rice recipe you choose, you’ll find it goes well with almost any entrée and also pairs nicely with our vegetable side dishes, too.
