Rice

[puff_not_snuff]

Hello, do you know about rice and if so have you eaten rice?

 

[Kobold]

All I know is cauliflower rice is an abomination.

 

[RobNYC]

Yes and yes.

I agree... and "zoodles". I feel shame for even writing that.

Rice is high carb...except the plastic kind.

Parboiled rice actually has much more nutrition than normal white rice as the steaming process actually pushes nutrients from the husk into the grain. I often make rice in a really quick and likely less nutritious manner by boiling and I'm not speaking of parboiled rice. I read about it on some Bangladeshi lady's blog... you boil normal rice in a lot of water for around 7 mins than stain and let sit for a few minutes before fluffing and it comes out really nice and fluffy this way. I should probably get a rice cooker for the amount of rice we eat but I already have enough crap in our small kitchen.

About the only time I eat rice anymore is when I make curry or when I go out and get sushi.

Why are you opposed to higher rice consumption?

I have a rice cooker and I'm not impressed. Even if you add extra water, the rice is dry. I went back to cooking it on the stove.

My wife tried that crap once. I told her it's not rice just like almond milk isn't milk. Almonds don't have tits, I've looked.

My favorite rice isn't even a rice. The best of it is from Minnesota.

Minnesota Wild Rice is actually grass!

White rice is nice,
but dirty rice is better

No particular reason just don't eat it that often. But I plan to make curry sometime this weekend so that will remedy that. I do enjoy eating rice I just don't cook it often.

 

[dsturg369]

Brown Rice... everytime.

 

[warren]

Wild rice, the part consumed not the grass, is a nut, the seed. My grandmother, in her youth, was often in a canoe with the local native folk, collecting the seed. Great stuff.

I grew up in New Orleans if that says anything?
I serve rice with almost everything I cook. I also spent time in Indonesia
And South Korea so that didn't help either. Jasmine rice with Cajun and asian cuisine and yellow with beans and south western dishes is hard to beat.

Let me ask my Uncle Ben about this...

 

[bullet08]

Korea/Japanese rice cooked in pressurized rice cooker. Always come out perfect. Uncle Ben in a stove top for gumbo or etuoffee. Indian rice with Indian curry. Never had sweet sticky rice from Indochina cooked at home, but don't crave it often enough.

 

[PipeIT]

Rice that is sticky in texture will have a high Glycemic Index.

An Indian joke;

“Good rice is like two brothers, close to each other, but not stuck on each other.”

Basmati, Jasmine, and Brown, are better alternatives...

P.S. I lived in Japan, and I have a born and raised Filipina wife, I know rice very well. LOL
