Product Information

Store & Reheat– store the cooked miracle rice in a container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in a microwave or stovetop. This recipe requires almost zero prep, sliced scallions are the only thing that’s not already prepared. You can substitute ground beef or another thinly sliced steak if you don’t want to use steak umms but I have a soft spot for this nostalgic frozen product.Trader Joe’s has a fresh thinly sliced Ribeye that is fantastic as a higher quality option. Perhaps another significant contribution of IR8 is that it started an enduring and thriving collaboration among IRRI and national rice research programs around the world. Indeed, the definitive measure of IRRl’s success has been the adoption of evolving breeding and agronomic methods, tools, and techniques—and the resulting products—by national programs through their partnership with the Institute.

Feel free to substitute olive oil in this recipe with other varieties if you would like, such as avocado oil or palm oil. You need a research program or a development program that has a very long-term perspective. We don’t have that, [and] that’s the big problem,” said Dr. Briones.

Konjac rice is a great diet food as it has 5 grams of calories and 2 grams of carbs and with no sugar, fat, and protein. Many rice farmers willingly embraced the “miracle rice.” Prior to its arrival, the usual rice harvest was only one and a half tons per hectare. With miracle rice, the harvest grew by at least five times more. And as farmers increasingly applied Green Revolution fertilizers, they had the potential to reach up to ten tons per hectare. The first cooperative trials of IR8-288-3 and other promising lines are conducted in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan.

Who’s willing to sell to me at a fairly affordable rate? [This information] is not available to me. Maybe they don’t exist. So, let’s document whether they really exist. Let’s try to identify what land resources are available, delineate [them], and make clear rules and regulations,” he said. Political conflicts Banking on one solution to poverty reduction is a huge mistake. In every country where poverty reduction has happened, it’s usually been a mix of contributors.

Cabbage Rice The price of rice is half what it used to be before the Green Revolution. In the 1980s, 50% of the population in Asia was hungry. Now, it is 12%,” said Dr. Gurdev Singh Khush, one of the scientists who developed the miracle rice. Once prepared, the shirataki rice can last in the fridge for up to four days in an air-tight container. To reheat, toss in the microwave or stovetop until the dish is warm.Shirataki rice or Konjac rice has become very popular since the prominence of the Keto and Low carb way of eating, which isn’t surprising as many have attributed their weight loss or improved health by substituting regular rice with cauliflower rice or Shirataki rice. Dry pan frying (Important!)– saute the rice WITHOUT the oil until the moisture is completely removed before adding seasonings. While rice (namely brown rice) offers some legit benefits—like good ol' fiber—it's not exactly low in carbs. (Half a cup contains 39 grams, per the USDA) So if you're living the keto life, or just trying to cut down on carbs a smidge, you may not want to crush rice-filled burritos on the reg. Brands like the Miracle rice brand are a bit more transparent than the Better than rice brand because the better than rice brand has some oat fibre added to it. I think this also gives it a little more rice-like texture.
