I would not eat Rice.

I hate rice, but it's got more nutritional value than corn.....

Wont be long before a new chef tries a new menu.

Man you can find no fewer than 8 kinds of rice at my house at any given time.

Basmati, miniature basmati, Japanese, risotto, bhutanese, jasmine, broken rice, wild rice, brown rice, ornamental rice, parboiled...

Wow. Another Jasmine Rice freak. I think once you have had Jasmine, you won't go back to the other crud.

I tend to like it with butter too. You start with rubbing butter into Jasmine till she turns yellow. Then you dump a rare steak on the plate. By the last bite, Jasmine looks all red.

Can't keep a chinaman away from rice. :) Rice with everything! Did you parents get KFC and make rice at home?

And crispy pork skin. :D

Hey it's OK, I can say that.

I have rice with steak because it is simple. 2 cups of rice, 2 cups of water, push switch. With a potato, you have to wait longer then peel it, take the insides, mix with butter and a hint of sour cream. My parents ate at KFC sparringly and didn't take any home.

Or pork floss sometimes isn't bad.

Dude microwave the potato. Poke some holes in it, wrap it up in a towel, and microwave it 6-8 minutes.

I know. But I am lazy to peel and smash the potato and mix. Rice is scoop and mix with butter. :D Personally, I prefer a potato since I like the hint of sour cream on it with bacon bits. Just being a lazy bastard.:laugh3:

OMG you just need to eat it like a gwai loh. Split the top and dump your butter/sour cream/bacon bits in the top. Smash the insides around a bit with your fork and scoop it out!

I like rice enough to own a rice cooker. ;)

Just yesterday I tried a rice dish out at the local deli.... It has yellow curry in it, along with nuts and raisins and bits of carrot - maybe more...haven't fully disected it yet...mostly because my 80 year old German grandmother confiscated it. (She's not one of those old farts that likes their food bland).


Rice is also handy for when I feel like eating several hundred of something. :D

it has to be made the right way.. none of thise fluffy "white people rice"

my mom has cooked columbian food since she married my step dad and how the rice is made is the only way i eat it

razor thin slices of garlic, some extra virgin olive oil, and the appropriate water amount .. and cleaned white rice... it comes out soo good..

You'll find that rice is an important ingredient in southern cuisine. It's what you serve gumbo or etouffee over, it's found in boudain, and of course there's dirty rice, all cajun/creole dishes. Down home meals like smothered chicken or smothered steak with gravy are served on a bed of rice, and in Texas at least from what I've seen, a bowl of hot, steaming white rice with butter and a little salt can serve as a substitute for oatmeal or grits at breakfast.

Rice is good when poured over Texas chili.

And I thought you were talking about ricers at first!
