Rice cookers are an easy and efficient way to prepare quick and simple meals – simply measure and combine ingredients and let the machine do its magic!
Prior to adding ingredients to your rice, be sure that it has been rinsed. Rinsing will remove excess starch that could otherwise create sticky results when left on its own.
Oregano
Oregano is an herb widely recognized for adding flavor and aroma to savory dishes, such as pasta, pizza and other fast foods. Oregano rice recipes are easy to prepare and can complement many other meals well; their flavors may change depending on what herbs, broth or ingredients are added for maximum enjoyment!
Herbs, spices and other ingredients can enhance the flavor and texture of your rice dish, giving it more dimension and making your palate happy! Experiment with different tastes until you find one you enjoy most; herbs can bring fragrant or pungent aromas while broths provide richer textures.

Tarragon
Tarragon is an herb widely used across a range of cuisines. It pairs well with eggs, fish and poultry while being one of the four fines herbes used as an ingredient in many French dishes like mayonnaise and Bearnaise sauce. Tarragon vinegar can also be made into salad dressings. Tarragon often goes well when combined with garlic, lemon or onion to form delicious meals!
Tarragon comes in two varieties; one has small dark green leaves while the other boasts long pale green ones with milder flavors similar to anise; this latter variety is often known by its Russian moniker and can easily grow in gardens as a hardy perennial herb.
If a recipe calls for tarragon and you don’t have any available, other herbs such as chervil, fennel and dill could serve as replacements; these options won’t provide the same licorice flavor that tarragon does; you could also try using some fresh tarragon sprigs with your dish instead.
