Rice, what do you use it for?

[Zakamutt]

Rice is a real pain to ccok compared to pasta. That said, it is by far the most optimal accompaniment to a wide range of dishes. I prefer Basmati rice, personally.

 

And damn, you know how legendary this thread is, right? One of the old randoms by kendjin/snowpoke, back when the inception of Games and Chatter was still far away. A true masterpiece!

No problem!

I love rice. I live in potato land but basmati rice is part of my daily meals (atleast 4 times/week). Sometimes I eat Japanese rice, when making specific stuff. I rarely eat noodles but they're rice noodles. I also make sushi once every 3-4 months.

Testimonial.

 

I'm just an average American guy who never thought much of rice, was lazy and ate Uncle Ben's rice out of a box (boil in a bag rice).  It was never that good.

Now, I've purchased a Zoujirushi rice cooker and follow the instructions, and it is the best tasting rice I ever had.

 

(this too is the influence of anime)

Rice is actually pretty expensive in Japan. 30 pound bags (uh, I'm too lazy to convert that) are like 6,000 yen.
