Beans and Rice

[Amish Heart]

That'd be pretty easy. I'm sure there's a pork and beans recipe for canning out there. And beanie weenies just have the hotdog or vienna sausage in them. Probably the hotdog would hold up better when pressure canning.

Mostly noodles, LOL. All kinds of noodles, ramen noodles, bean noodles, rice noodles, sweet potato noodles, etc. If it is like soup (like ramen) I don't eat it, but dry noodles I will. Chicken feet, which I DO NOT EAT, PERIOD. She cooks home cooking types of things like Chinese meatloaf (uses ground pork, onions and tofu), Oxtail pot roast (pretty close to American pot roast but with Chinese spices). Fried rice, Hakka eggs (scrambled eggs cooked with bean paste.) She is Hakka, which is the second largest Chinese group in Taiwan behind the Taiwanese.

I use the rice cooker for steaming potatoes, pork buns, dumplings, etc. I even use it to "boil" eggs.

I would probably love her cooking , well except the chicket feet...lol. Those go to the dogs. I Love Chinese food , especially dumplings ( with pork and cabbage in them)

I could ‘google’ but curious what ya all think about rice.

And yes - I listen to Dave Ramsey. I like the way he sees things, and on multiple levels. So… I get that the two are prescribed as a cheap diet. And, good for prepping, but he doesn’t go there.

I’m fine with beans, and the high protein agrees with me an my high metabolism… but the only rice I like is egg fried rice.

A few years ago I bought a 10lbs bag of rice - cheap. It went to waste.

So anyway, looking for thoughts on storing rice for a prep, and what to do with it, and what it’s good for.

I am trying to understand how rice went to waste. Was it brown rice? Brown rice will go rancid.
I store rice in 5 gallon buckets and in half gallon canning jars. Add an oxygen absorber and it should last for at least 30 years.

I honestly do not eat much rice, but I use it for special meals, certain foods, such as red beans and rice, or when I do my New Years meal of black eyed peas, collards, rice, smothered steak and corn bread. The rice is good as the first thing on the plate, and then the steak and gravy over that, or even the black eyed peas with it.

That was way back when I didn't know much about it. It might have still been good, I didn't check it. It was stored in a broom closet and I wanted to use that space and didn't know what to do with it. Now I know that being white rice, it was probably still good.

Since that post - I've learned to cook rice and liked it every time.

EDIT: Now that I know how big a 10 pound bag of rice is, or rather how small... It was much more. It was the size of a 40lbs bag of salt.

Its good for soups, stews, stuffings, pudding, and beans or black-eyed peas. you can also poach eggs on top of it or fry it with eggs, you tube has hundreds of recipes.
