What's flavored rice?
Flavored rice is also known as seasoned rice. It is rice infused with a set of flavors. You do that by adding spices, herbs, condiments such as soy sauce, or whole ingredients.
These seasoned rice recipes are usually served as a side dish to other meals, but you can enjoy them as a main course meal.
I didn't include fried rice in this list, but you can take a look at my stir-fried rice collection. Those are enriched with vegetables, meats, seafood and more.
Below you will find a set of flavored rice recipes from all around the world that go beyond ordinary boiled or steamed salt and pepper seasoned rice.
