Big-Batch Rice Recipe Recipe | Epicurious image

This simple, large batch of seasoned rice can be frozen and repurposed in endless ways for easy, family-friendly meals.

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Total Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 14 cups (12–14 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. kosher salt
1 Tbsp. distilled white vinegar or rice vinegar
2 lb. rice (about 5 cups), rinsed until water runs clear, drained

Steps:

  • Bring 18 cups water to a boil in a large covered pot over high heat. Stir in salt and vinegar. Add rice, reduce heat to medium, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is cooked through but not mushy (taste it: it should still be slightly al dente), 10–20 minutes, depending on variety of rice. Working in batches if needed, strain through a fine-mesh strainer.
  • If not serving immediately, spread rice in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool. Transfer to resealable freezer bags, pat down into an even layer (so it defrosts more quickly), and freeze up to 4 months. To defrost, transfer frozen rice to a microwave-proof bowl and sprinkle with a bit of water. Cover and microwave rice on high in 1-minute bursts until warmed through. Alternately, place rice in a saucepan and add a splash of water. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed, until warmed through. If using in a soup, add frozen rice directly to soup and cook until heated through.

Provided by Betsy Edwards

Categories     Side Dish

Total Time 60 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 49 minutes

Yield 75 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 cups white rice, long grain (UNCOOKED - NOT minute or instant (This is 5 pounds, 4 ounces of uncooked rice))
2 white onions (chopped)
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen peas & carrots
4 tablespoons minced garlic
2 quarts water
3 quarts chicken broth
8 large eggs
2 cups soy sauce
1/2 cup sesame oil
4 cups cooked ham (diced – or 2 cans spam, diced)
2 (20" x 13" x 3") disposable aluminum pans ((this is a full-size steam table pan))
2 large flat baking sheets

Steps:

  • In a large stock-pot, combine water, broth and salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350-degrees. Lightly spray a 20" x 13" x 3" roasting pan with cooking spray.  Tear off a large sheet of aluminum foil large enough to easily cover the top of the roasting pan.   Set aside.
  • Place 12 cups UNCOOKED rice, chopped onion, frozen carrots and peas and minced garlic in roasting pan, spread evenly.  Place roasting pan on flat baking sheet for stability when transporting to and from the oven.  
  • Once water and broth is boiling, pull out the oven rack and move the roasting pan on the baking sheet to the extended rack.  Carefully pour the boiling liquid over the rice and stir to mix thoroughly.
  • IMMEDIATELY cover tightly with aluminum foil.  Using oven mitts (it's hot), press foil tightly around the pan to ensure a tight seal around ALL the edges, crimping along edges.  Carefully slide the rack back in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until rice is tender.
  • 15 minutes before rice is done, in a medium sauté pan over medium heat, cook meat if including.  When meat is browned and cooked, whisk eggs, add to pan and scramble eggs for several minutes.  
  • Test the rice for doneness and when done remove from oven and remove foil.  Scoop out half of it into the second disposable aluminum roasting pan.  Evenly divide the soy sauce, sesame oil, eggs and meat between the 2 pans.  Toss to mix well.  Simply take a couple forks or serving spoons and fluff it to break up any larger clumps.  Then, when it's cool enough to handle, break up the rice with your hands.   The rice should retain its temperature well during this process, but you can always put it back in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes to re-heat if necessary.
  • MAKE AHEAD NOTE:

"This simple Spanish rice recipe goes well with tacos, burritos, fajitas, etc. This amount made enough to serve 80+ people (for tacos) with about 4 cups left over. Flavor was a little bland (our crowd was half children), but one could add spices or hot peppers for zing."

  • "Heat oil in large frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add rice to skillet, stirring often, until rice begins to brown. Add green pepper and diced chilies. Then add water (or broth) and chunky salsa to rice; cover and cook until all liquid has been absorbed (at least an hour). Stir regularly during this cooking process to be sure it doesn't stick. We used an 8-quart pot to cook this rice. It nearly filled the pot, but did not run over. A larger pot would probably be better and cause the rice to be a little less sticky. Since our crowd had so many children, we made this very mild. Adding hot peppers, medium or hot salsa, and either chicken broth or vegetable broth would add flavor and a little zip to this dish. "

HOW TO BAKE BROWN RICE IN THE OVEN RECIPE - FOOD.COM
Friends...I'm baking brown rice these days. For years, I'd made it on the stovetop, as that's how I learned how to cook rice when I lived in the Dominican Republic years ago. Then I discovered the rice cooker. I've only been using my rice cooker for a few months, but I love it. It cooks the rice so beautifully, and the clean up is way simpler than cleaning (and sometimes scrubbing out) the saucepan. But I loaned my rice cooker to my sister and I didn't want to go back to the stovetop. (Not that I won't ever cook rice on the stovetop again!) But...even if I set the timer, I might not get there in time...for it to be perfectly cooked. These early days with a baby makes it difficult to commit to being at any one time...even if the timer is set and the rice should be cooked perfectly. We could be in the middle of a fuss-fest, and diaper change and outfit change, or in the middle of a nursing session. Cooking brown rice on the stovetop is a fine art, and requires a bit of attention towards the end, to make sure you get that perfectly cooked and fluffed brown rice to serve for dinner. So I've turned to the oven. Baking brown rice. There are a number of "rice bake" recipe in my recipe collection. But today, I thought I'd share a basic how to cook brown rice. Feel free to experiment with mixing in different spices and veggies. Here's the easy, side-dish, basic way to bake brown rice...
