I had a nice simple lunch today. My wife's cousin sent us a 5-pound
bag of genmai, Japanese short-grain brown rice. I put a cup in my
rice cooker this morning, set it for noon, and at 12 o'clock spooned
it out into two bowls. My wife added a little milk to hers to loosen
it up. I just diced up some smoked Nova Scotia style salmon and mixed
it in. Nice, simple lunch.

Only 51 more servings left in the bag of genmai. Any suggestions?

Make something it can accompany, like a Chinese stir fry,
Japanese chirashi or many other East Asian foods. I suppose
your smoked salmon might qualify as a sort of chirashi but plain
rice is on the level of a bread and water diet, IMHO.

A tabouli type dish substituting brown rice for the wheat in regular
Tabouli. Might be interesting. The crunch will be similar.

Make chicken soup with boiled rice on the side. Chicken and rice soup.
Don't put the rice into the soup while cooking it will mess upthe soup.
Used it as an additive afterwards. Do it all the time with regular rice.

How 'bout brown rice pudding? It might have a nutty flavor.
