What's the easiest, most conventional way to make tomato red rice? It tastes literally better than fried rice and I think I need to make it a staple in my cooking skills

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but I've been known to cook two similar-looking tomato-y dishes thusly:

⓵ chop up an onion, fry in olive oil, add a cup of tomato sauce (for those speaking commonwealth English, I do not mean ketchup, no), bring to the boil, add a cup of cooked-then-cooled rice, stir and toss to coat and absorb, then off the heat and stir in some basil leaves and cut up or shredded cheese/s then salt to taste

⓶ get basic ingredients for Mexican salsa (onion/garlic/both, jalapeños and tomato), chop them up, stir fry them in oil or lard, add cooked-then-cooled rice and a dash of water (if necessary) and toss to reheat rice through, mix everything well, off the heat and stir in chopped scallion greens and coriander leaves then salt to taste

Hope that helps.

Here's the way I was taught:
Fry like a 1/4 of an onion in oil. Add uncooked rice and fry for like a minute or two. Then add one can of tomato sauce, two cans of water, and one bouillon cube. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked.

This is the tomato sauce my mom used when I was growing up, and you might be able to find it in the "Hispanic" section of the grocery store.

I do it just like this, except I add garlic with the onion, and instead of bullion I just add salt. Works pretty gud. Also for some reason my grandma says it's really important that the water be already at a boil when you add it to the rice.

I just use the regular small cans of tomato sauce you get for like 20 cents.

Anonymous Sat Apr 11 16:35:08 2015 No.6407527

A little bit of oil in sauce pot thing.
8 oz of long grain rice, toasted to white, so stir every few sconds.
Once rice is 'cooked', put one can tomato sauce/3 cans water.
Add diced tomatoes, salt and pepper if you wish.
Bring to boil, cover and simmer for about 20-2 minutes.

There you go. Simple, easy and good.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 11 16:35:18 2015 No.6407529 >>6407415 It might be the nostalgia talking, but Val Vita doesn't taste the same as regular canned tomato sauce. It doesn't help that (at least in my entire extended family) "Val Vita" is just the generic term for tomato puree in a can.

Protip: Fry, then caramelize your tomato paste & rice. This may take a little extra oil as well as careful usage of water. If the end product looks more like OP's pic and not so much like fired rice, you've failed. >>6405226

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 11 18:38:16 2015 No.6407800 >>6407641 You would have to add the tomato during the cooking process for it to work right.
