Rice is perhaps the most popular side dish in the world of fitness. It is an excellent source of carbohydrates that are easily digestible, making it ideal for both pre- and post-workout meals. There are many types available, such as basmati, jasmine, sushi rice, or even a special risotto type rice. This way, you can choose the one that best suits the dish you will be preparing.
Rice in the role of a main course appears in the cuisines of many nations. However, if you prefer a classic approach, you can serve it with any meat or its plant-based alternatives, which you simply sauté in a pan. However, if you are looking to play with flavours, you can explore Asian cuisine and prepare dishes like poke, chicken with turmeric and coconut milk, curry, butter chicken, or other recipes from Indian cuisine. Rice is also present in Mexican cuisine, for example, in the preparation of chilli con carne.
Rice is not only a common side to meat or its plant-based alternatives; it can also be used to create delicious sweet treats. How about trying the rice soufflé with quark and fruit, or giving creamy rice porridge a chance? It is very filling but does not burden the stomach too much, allowing you to stay active during your workout. A fantastic combination is also with coconut milk or cream, which results in milk rice or a delightful dessert.
