GeddysMullet Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Also! Whole grain or refined? Whole grain basmati rice for me. I use it for things for which I used to use noodles or pasta such as in soup or with spaghetti sauce. I also like it with butter and nutritional yeast, and of course put to such traditional applications as under Chinese food! Rice thoughts, anyone?

Tarkus406 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I went with other but I really meant "all" I'm not really big on rice, but I can tolerate just about any kind of rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, good point. I should have had an option for "Any" but I guess polls can't be edited. I've become a much bigger fan of rice since I had to give up pasta.

Mara Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Oh wow, I love rice! My favorite is the Chinese sticky white rice, but I'm not overly picky. You can do anything with rice, but dang, a little sure goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

librarian Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Barley is a good alternative to rice. They make rice pasta (chow fun and chow mai fun noodles) Quinoa is good if you can make is successfully - something which I have not been able to accomplish at home. (wah-waahhh) They do make quinoa pasta, but good luck finding it. (and $$$ to boot!) Cous Cous is good at first and then it gets like sand. Brown rice is actually not that bad. I would take that over white rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Whiiiiiiiite rice! Rice goes good with pretty much anything and everything. I can see why it's such a staple in a lot of Asian countries. It's a good base for so many dishes and it's not bad for ya either! (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before or after cooking? Before, but do not do it with instant rice, maybe even twice. Your rice will not be nearly as sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barney_rebel Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Due to my asian blood, for long periods if I don't eat white rice I can have serious problems. When I moved away to go to school, I was wondering why my body was acting strange. By the summer when I moved back home, all was cool. So white rice gets my vote.

Aside from being extremely ill, traveling abroad, or having slept the entire day, I can't remember a day when I didn't eat it. When I moved away to go to college my mum gave me some cash, a bible, and a rice cooker. No joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those countries aren't really thinking, "This white rice really goes well with tonight's entree" or "This is healthy for me." It's not even a thought. It's just there. Always. As a kid I ate white rice 2 or 3 times a day. I'd ask mum what was for dinner and she'd say something like fried chicken and mixed vegetables. White rice was never even mentioned. In fact, "white" was never mentioned because it was ALWAYS white rice with every dinner no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a pressure steamer thing, and it has settings for white & brown rice. Once the rice is cooked it automatically lowers the temperature to "warm". It couldn't be any easier to use, and you can cook as much or as little as you wish. I've used it for as little as 2 cups and for as many as 12. No more guesswork or starchy water boiling over.
