When you hear “rice,” you already know what comes to mind: tiny white grains on a plate. But rice doesn’t have to be all that dull. A little exploration will show you that even rice can get some boosts. Not only can you make plain white rice, but you can also make grains and other types of rice with your Ninja Foodi.

I make white and brown rice a few times a week. It doesn’t matter if I’m serving it plain or topped with butter for a light lunch snack, on the side with pork, chicken, or beef; it’s an inexpensive dish my family loves. If you just started using your Ninja Foodi (see also our guide to slow cooking in the Ninja Foodi) and are brand new to making Ninja Foodi recipes, this chart will be helpful.
