Super Rice™ Recipe
An Androgenic Anabolic Staple for Physical Specimenry
Gm gents. Let my let you in on my secret culinary weapon: Anabolic Super Rice™
This has been a staple in my diet for years. It’s cheap, easy, and can be dressed up or down as needed. Its especially a staple during my bulking periods when I start eating like a garbage disposal
This guide will show you not only how to make rice delicious, but remarkably nutritious. More protein, more nutrients, more benefits.
I’ve also included my Super Oats Recipe as another equally nutritious carb source. Enjoy!
(If you’re wondering why you should eat carbs in the first place, read my post on how to eat carbs)
Why White Rice?
Some people say you shouldn’t eat white rice because it’s processed. But there’s a reason The Chinese started hulling their rice 2,000 years ago (shoutout to the Han Dynasty).
White rice bypasses all the issues with brown rice. And there’s a lot of them.
Brown rice contains:
High levels of arsenic (accumulates in the bran layer)
Phytic acid: an antinutrient that impairs mineral absorption
Lectins: proteins that can trigger an immune response & lead to leaky gut
omega-6 fatty acids (like the ones in seed oils)
White rice, on the other hand, is easily digestible. Its pure fuel. A blank canvas that provides energy and sustenance to your muscles and other cells. Sure, the glycemic index is higher than brown rice, but that’s the point. If you’re metabolically healthy, you WANT high glycemic index foods for fast fuel. Especially around workouts.
This is why rice and rice noodles are a staple in my diet. Cheap, convenient, easily digestible fuel.
But here’s how to make rice so much more than just another carbohydrate:
Preparing Super Rice
Step 1: Don’t buy fortified rice
The powers at be feel the need to add fortified nutrients to all of our grains. This is great in theory, but they used all the worst forms of nutrients. Folic acid in its non-methylated form and non-heme iron are worth avoiding.
Aside from the concern of iron overload, the non-heme iron used to fortify grains doesn’t feed us, but rather feeds pathogenic bacteria in our gut
Step 2: Soak your rice
Soaking rice activates enzymes like phytase. These help break down starches and increase nutrient availability.
Throw your rice in a mason jar and keep it in the fridge. You can leave it in there anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 days
If you don’t have time to soak, that’s okay. Move on to step 3.
Step 3: Rinse your rice
Rinse it real good. Shake up the grains with your hands to remove any impurities and release excess starch. Do this 3 times or until the water becomes clear
Step 4: Use a rice cooker
Buy a ceramic rice cooker on Amazon. One button & you have a perfectly cooked batch of rice every time.
