What to make for dinner with rice
Rice turns up as the side so often that it is easy to forget it can be the dinner. Fried rice, biryani, pulao and risotto all put it centre stage. Let us pick one and show you the video.
We have 269 rice dinners to pick from, all cooking videos with captions, which makes a written recipe much more likely to work.

Tips for cooking with rice
- Fried rice works best with cooked rice that has been cooled quickly and kept in the fridge, because the grains stay separate.
- Rinse basmati before cooking for fluffier biryani and pulao.
- Risotto needs stirring and warm stock added a ladle at a time, so it is a good one when you can stay by the hob.

Questions about rice dinners
Can I use leftover rice?
Yes, and for fried rice it is better. Cool cooked rice quickly, keep it in the fridge, use it within a day and reheat it until steaming hot.
Can I pick a rice dinner for my diet?
Yes. The rice page offers every diet we support: vegetarian, vegan, vegetarian with eggs and pork-free. We only pick from videos chosen for that diet.
Does this include cauliflower rice?
No. Cauliflower rice, rice noodles and rice paper are left out, so every pick is a dinner made with actual rice.
