RICE appreciation thread

[Knugget]

So my younger brother actually applies ketchup to his rice. I think its fucking gross but do any of you do it as well?

I've done done it back in like 5th grade. Haven't really eaten it with ketchup since. It ain't so bad.

[wrong_move]

fixed it for you.

is there no love for hainanese chicken rice?

love this, haven't eaten in years

[jyoni]

Wild rice is actually cereal. For good cheap eats, prepare it with chicken broth instead of straight water and toss in a bowl of mirepoix near the end.

Rice cookers are awesome but don't use one with wild rice.

Edit, ALWAYS wash that shit really well before cooking too.

I thought wild rice was like a grass seed?

At any rate - I love basmati. I make a wicked south indian style coconut rice with brown basmati.

[jyoni]

Well, it's a folly on my part to distinguish it as a cereal. I think rice as a whole is considered a "cereal grass." It's more like a barley than a true rice though.

i was poking around on line and found a lot of recipes where you cook whole meals in your rice cooker... like meat and rice and egg all together. Sounded cool... can also do it with a crock pot...

[blm14]

I do that all the time with egg + kimchi + onion + black bean banchan as a quick and dirty fried rice alternative. Having stuff on top of the rice during cooking means its a little less fluffy but you also get a nice crispy layer on the bottom. MmMMmmmmm

omu rice can have ketchup. in se asia, you can also get nasi goreng merah, fried rice with ketchup.

rice is so neutral in flavor i don't see the problem.

i used to eat rice with ketchup as a kid. don't do it anymore, but i add some pretty random shit at times. sometimes i throw in orange marmalade :confused:

maybe it's cuz i've had rice nearly every day forever, but i don't really like rice anymore. i make it a point to never order a rice dish whenever i go out to eat

love rice noodles though. definitely ho fun more than mai fun

My first meal of 2010 was grape jelly with rice. Bomb as fuck since I was under the influence of medical canibus.

My parents moved from Cambridge to Tyngsboro when my sister and I graduated from college, and I go there for holidays and long weekends etc.

I compulsively explore new places when I get to them, so I went nuts driving around looking for places my first visit. I got lost on some back road looking for RR Records in downtown lowell and ended up driving past Peephuptmei and stopped for lunch and had my mind blown. HUGE portions, fresh food, super low prices, nice neighborhood place. There's this one milfy waitress there who I am convinced has implants.
