Here are a dozen plus frugal entrees that you can make while the rice cooks. You probably already have most of the ingredients for them in your kitchen!
Simply start your rice in the rice cooker, microwave or on the stove top, and finish the rest of the meal before the rice is done!
For those who are interested, these meals either are gluten-free, or can easily be made gluten free with the use of things like gluten-free soy sauce & gluten free tortillas.
Mix & Match Italian Rice Salad
Lentil & Rice Salad (use canned lentils, or precooked lentils from your freezer)

What a great collection of recipes! I have both a rice cooker and an Instant Pot so I can whip up a meal quickly. In fact, tonight I'm making Brazilian Black Beans (in my Instant Pot) and rice (in my rice cooker).
