Thai Jasmin Rice.


No rice smells or tastes as good.

Shrimp Fried Rice is not a brand of rice..lol It is white rice cooked, with seasonings and tofu.

Basmati rice

I like any and all rice

I don't really like brown rice but everything else is fine. I can't stomach Rice Pudding. It makes me heave. There's an Indian dessert which uses cold rice, cream and oranges which I can just about handle - but warm stodgy rice pudding is a no-no.

Love mushroom risotto; egg-fried rice, pilau rice.

I went to a theatre restaurant once that served rice so overdone I thought it was mashed potatoes!

I love rice of all kinds , my favorite "ethnic" rice is Basmati.

This is a Zelaira thread, huh?

Pandan Rice!! It smells soooo good.. And tastes delicious when eaten cold!!

I can't stand rice for that matter.

i love rice! white rice, basmati, jasmine, brown rice, wild rice - all of it!

sometimes i'll just boil up a pot of rice and eat it with a little bit of pepper as a tv snack. yum.

i don't like instant rice because i'm not fond of having rice that squeaks when i chew on it.

I like all kinds of rice and almost all rice dishes...I like nasi goreng, plain cooked Chinese rice, Chinese fried rice, Turkish pilavs, Thai style fried rice, Thai rice soups, rice pudding, and of course all kinds of Indian rice dishes, they really know how to cook rice...biryani etc.

Does rice make you fat ? A friend of mine who happens to be a fitness instructor says it doesn´t make you fat and makes you lose excess water stored in your cells but other people blame the high glycemic index and carbs for making you look bloated...

So, what do you think ? As far as I know , most Asians who eat tons of rice are not really fat...then again, obesity is slowly but surely becoming a problem in China, but that might be because of an increase in fast food.

biryani

nasi goreng

trader joes has both of these in their frozen food section. throw a dash of chili sauce on 'em and i'm in heaven.

I’m a vegetarian so I experiment with all sorts of rice dishes. I made a pot of yellow rice this weekend and added mushrooms, olives and diced tomatoes. Hmmmm. Delicious.

i really don't know any ethnic rices but i do like rice. especially wild rice and brown rice. white rice is okay.

that sounds AWESOME.

Jasmin or Basmati.

I like rice, but one kind I DON'T like is wheat rice. My mom made some for Easter dinner yesterday, and the stuff was NASTY. Luckily I only took a little pile of it, because it was foul tasting.

Any other kind of rice is good though.

Nishiki... it's Japanese sticky rice... love the white, trying to get used to brown sticky rice since it's better... don't eat rice often these days...

Do you mean like Red cross rice?
