Seasoned Rice Mix - Ready to Cook

Make your own mixes and keep them in baggies ready to cook. This is a little healthier than store-bought flavoured rice packets. All you have to do is add a bit of butter. Use veggie powder and a dairy-free butter or olive oil to veganize this recipe.

Ingredients
For the Rice Mix

• 1 cup basmati rice

• 2 tablespoons dehydrated vegetables

To Cook

• 1 tablespoon butter (vegan if desired)
• 2 cups water

Directions

1. Mix everything together (except butter and water), and store in a container until ready to use. You can make multiple containers and have them on hand whenever you need a quick rice dish. 
2. To cook, simply mix the rice with 2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of butter. Bring it up to a simmer over medium high heat, then cover and reduce the heat to medium low for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender. You can add more water as needed.
