A really fast one I often do is just getting a ready tub of good Korma or something and then just add chickpeas to it, maybe spice it a bit more. Add meat if using and eat it with rice. I always cook my rice 10min plus 10min rest time, 300g rice and 600g water. Then make fried rice from the leftovers.
Panang curry is also so good even when using a ready made sauce.
Cooked rice in any sort of salad is also great.
Oven rice is great, just put the rice in an ovenpan, add all the other stuff you are going to eat like root veggies, vegetables, beans, meat on top and pour boiling water on the rice. Then roast the whole thing, takes about 30minutes.
Risotto is amazing, takes a bit longer. Any recipe probably works. Paella is amazing.
Rice porridge is so good.
Beans & rice
Any kind of veggie stew and rice
Really most things work so well with rice, kinda depends on what else you have to work with? That would help with sharing a recipe.
First of all, some nice suggestions. Onto what I have to work with. Well I have a rice cooker other basic kitchen tools and rice(ofc), veggies and can go to the grocery store if needed. I usually like cooking but my energy has been exhausted for a while, that's why I want to get back into it with simpler stuff.
If you have a rice cooker I am pretty sure you could do all sorts of combo meals in it.
I don't have one so I have no good ideas, but maybe there are some good ideas here.
