Preparation & Use
Combine one part rice mix with two parts water in a saucepan, add a tablespoon of butter or margarine if desired, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving. For richer flavor, substitute chicken or vegetable broth for water. Each 36-ounce package yields approximately 12 half-cup cooked servings, making a full case sufficient for 72 side-dish portions.
Application Areas
This seasoned rice blend fits across a range of menu settings, from casual family restaurants and school cafeterias to catered events and hospital dining programs. It also works well in retail deli hot bars where a ready-to-serve grain side rounds out the offering without requiring scratch seasoning. For home kitchens, it serves as a low-effort accompaniment to weeknight proteins or a building block in one-pot recipes.
