Sticky rice, with optional coconut cream and/or mango!!!
Also, rice pudding!!!
Also, risotto!!!
Also, congee!!!
Also, paella!!! Omg I love rice so much!!!
(Almost as much as I love purple!!!)
My mind says brown rice for its healthy. My spirit says Jasmine for an awakening. My waistline reminds me of the many helping of fried rice I ordered and consumed in while sheltering in place.
@jnicholson0619 a bit like rice pudding but less sweet and a lot firmer and stickier. Very heavy and dense. I think it’s sold in Asian stores as sweet rice or sticky rice. Edit: here’s the variety my Filipina wife makes. It’s delish!
#1 basmati, #2 short-grain sticky (sushi) rice. The wife prefers fluffy basmati; I go back and forth and enjoy a good sticky rice as well. She? Not so much.
We eat a lot of rice ~20-30 lbs/yr for two people, but perhaps not as much as some.
And, no, we do not have a rice cooker, but manage quite nicely doing it on the stove and cooking it like pasta with an excess of water, but no salt.
Pakastani aged, imported basmati has as a rule the lowest As levels. Some soils are naturally high in As, while others contain high levels of residual As from cotton pesticide residue from many decades ago. Rice, a silicicolus plant, incorporates arsenides by the same mechanism that it uses silicates to build plant structure is my understanding. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00380768.1959.10430890
@Euniceandrich Hey, great photo, for Zebra (pronounced in most of the world as ZEB - ra) is our favorite brand. Many brands of basmati are packaged in sewn polypropylene then inside a burlap bag. Not so, Zebra Brand, it is in a sewn PP bag inside a cotton bag. What’s the diff? Well the burlap bag often gives the rice a peculiar, unpleasant aroma. Lately, we have switched to Zebra extra long grain parboiled in the yellow bag as it yields a fluffier rice, but, with alas, a bit of the popcorn aromas muted.
Just one other comment on rice. Instant pot makes the best Jasmine Rice (still prefer doing basmati on stove though)…
We have a decent rice cooker but not only is the instant pot faster, it gives better results too. Highly recommend the instant pot for rice to serve with East and SE Asian style dishes.
What if I make fried rice with plain white rice, which one do I pick??

Basmati
@kittykat9180 for most things Basmati. Add a few curry-leaf tree leaves and a stick of cinnamon whilst the rice cooks.
Perfection.
I wouldn’t use Basmati for SE Asian dishes… I’d use Jasmine for that… But for most things Basmati is best.
Puffed, with butter and marshmallows.

Saffron rice – or is that a subset of white rice dishes? (Certainly not plain, though.)
I love brown rice with some butter and salt. Mmmm
OR that wonderful black rice dessert with coconut milk. Yum.

My wife makes the best sweet rice. My grandson can consume a 13x9 pan of it in a day.
@tweezak i need to know more about this rice…

@tweezak ooooo im gonna have to look that one up! It looks amazing!
@jnicholson0619 @tweezak need to investigate this…tap, tap, tap… aaahhhhh Google!
My sons love cheesy rice.
Daughter likes eggs and rice.
The rice itself is usually Basmati from Sam’s Club in the burlap sack.

Sushi rice/sticky rice! Mmmmmm

Anne Rice
@ThunderChicken Anneka Rice is better.
See if this work, does Giphy do the 80’s

@ThunderChicken apparently not.

Wild rice, hands down.
What? No love for the Arborio?
Thanks, Meh. Now I’m craving a nice, savory risotto.
Japanese (sticky) long grain
@kshayabusa Isn’t that Jasmine rice? It’s what my wife’s filipino family uses. We use it too. It’s great with a fried egg.
Wild rice is by far my favorite! The best taste and texture.

Susan B. (rhymes with “the next VP”).
I’d say wild rice, but it’s not really rice, so I’ll say cauliflower rice, I guess.
Black Rice (sometimes called Forbidden Rice) is the best.
Yummy nutty-flavoured purple (it’s called black but it’s purple) rice goodness.
/giphy black rice
@OnionSoup once again giphy fails me… Although it is on topic for 2020 since that appears to be Black Rights instead of Black Rice.

This has been shown in published peer reviewed papers and not just Internet hearsay to reduce arsenic levels naturally found in rice much more effectively than just by rinsing alone. https://www.nal.usda.gov/fsrio/research-projects/levels-arsenic-rice-effects-cooking

@Jackinga This is interesting. We go through 100lbs/yr and I never rinse it before cooking it in the rice cooker. Maybe I should start…
Hands down, basmati rice. Gotta buy the super ethnic stuff. The aroma itself is enough to call it the best. The flavor is just magnificent.

We are especially fond of Basmati. Jasmine is a modest second place.
Rice with butter and garlic
Rice with melted cheese and bacon
Rice with chicken chunks and barbecue sauce
Rice added to creamy soups
And, oh can we wish because it would be so awesome…
RICEDROP!
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
Pudding is the correct answer, with horchata a close second.
@Ruger9mm JUST made arroz con leche this week. Sssoooooo good
Goya blue bag medium grain white rice. Comes out the best in the rice cooker and is very versatile.
Also… are we gearing up for a RiceDrop???
