Ingredients
  

  • 600 g raw enriched parboiled rice about 3 cups
  • 620 g cabbage
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • Water enough to cook rice

Method
 

Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.
    Add the rice to a saucepan and pour in water until it reaches the same level as the rice.
      Add salt, bring to a boil, then cover and cook on the lowest heat for about 20 minutes.
        While the rice is cooking, blend the cabbage into very fine bits.
          Once the rice is fully cooked, add the blended cabbage and mix well.
          1. Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it steam for about 10 minutes.
          2. The residual heat from the rice will gently cook the cabbage.
          Fluff the rice and serve

            Notes

            • Blending the cabbage finely helps it blend seamlessly into the rice
            • You can substitute cabbage with cauliflower using the same method
            • This rice is perfect for meal prep and reheats well
