Got Rice?

[island14]

I have rice growing outta my friggin ears, and really think how nice potatoes would be more often.


Just curious how often you guys eat rice..

I noticed in the Spence thread a few mentioned it.

I don't mind rice, as long as there is a good sauce, or something flavored to eat with it.

My wife makes a great garlic rice, she takes the day old rice so not to waste it, re-fries it with sliced garlic and onion and it makes a nice flavor rice.



So lets here how you eat your rice, and how often.

I would really love to see some new ways and recipes.

:cert:

[island14]

Rice and country gravy. :yum:

Rice alone? I'll pass.

I prefer whole grain rice over white rice generally in a dish though.

Sounds good actually :seasix:

I really love good ole fashioned biskets n gravy like my grandma use to make :yesnod:

Miss it too! I need to get some kinda oven going to make biskets :yesnod:

A neighbor of mine makes bread daily to sell from an oven he made out of an old 55 gallon steel drum.

The have a fire underneath it, and another fire on top with burning coconuts, where they flattened it out.

Back to rice.. I eat it daily, but just not much into just plain rice myself either.

Mrs. DAB will often mix in some Alfredo sauce (from a jar) or 4 cheese sauce with rice.

We eat a lot of brown rice. I steamed some last night along with some grilled talapia (and shit).

[Stangkiller]

We eat rice with a lot of our meals.

[jaxgator]

I don't eat rice that often although my gf made us some stuffed peppers just the other night. Hamburger, rice, can of tomato sauce, can of manwich all stuffed in the peppers with some chedder cheese on top.

[island14]

They serve rice with a one piece chicken dinner at McDonalds here.

My wife thinks she has to have rice with every meal, she wants rice with a cheeseburger.

She can't understand it when I say, no rice for me tonight....

Grumbles, then tells me I'm getting thin :lol:



Since I am stuck with it I really hope to hear of some new ways to serve it from you all.

What is Alfredo sauce?

Maybe melted cheese would be fun to try :seasix:






I just asked the wife, she shook her head and said no cheese in the rice... dangit :lol:

[island14]

I have a feeling I am the only one around here that buys a 50 kilo sack of rice :rofl:

Man that sounds good! :yesnod:

K... what is Alfredo sauce??:confused5:

[Jobaka]

K... what is Alfredo sauce??:confused5:

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley


Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in parsley and serve.

[island14]

I jam on some biscuits and gravy! :yesnod:

If you like those, you'll probably like the rice and gravy. :yesnod:

Sounds like a plan.. :seasix:

I'm thinking bacon gravy first, then try a sausage gravy later.

My wife sometimes makes a Shanghai rice, with scrambled eggs, small chucks of ham, peas, carrots, onions, and garlic.

Pretty good actually :seasix:

[island14]

I'm not sure, but isn't the brown rice just un-husked rice?

They say the husk part that most throw away is good for you

Brown rice is indeed healthier. It's whole grain and natural with nothing removed.

Another bonus, it contains roughly the same amount of calories as white rice but has Vitamins B1, B3 and iron (which is lost in the process of hulling/milling white rice).

We don't need no fancy rice cooker.. :D

Hell we don't need a stove.. :lol:

Rice and fried eggs is my daily breakfast, but sometimes she treats me to the garlic rice.

Irish really wants a rice cooker, I told her I don't want to spoil her, if I bought her a rice cooker the next thing she would want is a cook stove, and running water. :lol:

[MrPeabody]

With a little saffron.

All I really need is a little butter on mine.

Some Persian in-laws of mine cook it in a rice cooker until it just starts to get a little brown and crispy-crunchy on the bottom. This can also be done in a well oiled cast iron pan on the stove top. It takes a little practice, but you flip it over as a one piece thing on to a plate, then you can actually slice it like a cake it holds together so well. Gives it a different texture and flavor.

I have met a few guys that post here while in the states, but only one has been here to the Islands that I met, "Jetski" but it was here in the city, he did not have time to go to my island while on a work trip.

Have often thought it would be fun to see some of you guys over here,

Maybe someday we can have a barn-raising beach party :bilmem:

after the costs of airfare, likely the only thing we could afford would be the $1 Rhum that you have featured.

spices and herbs are fairly compact and add much flavor to any dish, normally without adding calories.

as you have said, the trick is getting your hands on stuff.

[nhlgopens]

We eat rice quite a bit. Had it for lunch today in a burrito bowl.

My favorite way is fresh off the stove, with a little butter and brown sugar. :drool:

[kingpin]

I can eat Jasmine steamed rice as a meal all day every day with nothing on it.
I like almost al dente like pasta.
I make it in a rice cooker and is perfect every time.

Those little red potatoes are amazing.

Take a bag of them throw them in a big bowl. Add olive oil to coat, crumbled chicken cube, oregano s&p and a few clumps of butter.
Transfer into a glass oven safe casserole dish and add 1/4" water on the bottom.
Cook uncovered until the skin starts to wilt. Usually takes a good hour and a half at 375 plus a little.
They end up having the consistency of smashed potatoes inside and are almost creamy when you chew them. Add a little sea salt when serving and the skin has a french fry taste to it.

BTW: if your glass dish isn't black on the bottom after this you haven't cooked them long enough. :D

The wife only buys five kilos at a time. I asked if she wanted a bigger bag and she said it goes stale after a while. Ok then, five kilos it is since I only eat it once in a while and never for breakfast.

I have a feeling I'm not going to find that stuffs around here :D

Check SM while you're in the city. Surprisingly, the one here has several items that are imported from the states. I even found fresh milk from Seattle the other day.

[wwomanC6]

Mom always use to make Rice, Peas, and Cheese. I hated the peas!

I now make my own version, minus peas.

Cheese Sauce:

Warm some milk on low (about 1 to 1.5 cups)

add in sliced Kraft cheese slice singles ( I love Cheese, so I use almost a whole 24 pack)

Stir to melt cheese

add in cooked or steamed rice

stir

Add in your choice of some cooked Chicken, hamburger or bacon

Add in veggie of your choice or mixed veggies


or don't add anything and just have the rice in cheese sauce!

My wife buys 20 lb. bags of rice and a lot of times has the rice cooker going. She makes a real good fried rice from day old rice.

I've got about 80 pounds of Royal Basmati. It's an aromatic rice. Tastes as good as it smells. I don't do anything fancy with it, just butter, salt and pepper. If it's not part of a larger meal I'll dump a can or two of sweet corn or peas in to cook with the rice.

We usually only get 4 or 5 kilo at a time also, but when we have the whole family at the house as sometimes happens, or we are going to be in the city awhile, a 50 Kilo sack saves money and still only last about 3 weeks.

I keep forgetting the import sections of the big stores in the city, since we don't have anything like that on our island I kinda forget :D

My wife washes the rice first a few times to make sure it is clean and get the bugs out.

Then just slow cook in water until the water is all gone but the rice is still moist.


The trick is to use small firewood for cooking, so you can control the heat better, and not burn the bottom layer. :D

According to the instructions that come with the Royal Basmati bag you should rinse twice to remove excess starch. I haven't seen any bugs but I grew up on a farm and it wouldn't bother me... We call that extra protien :D

We often do various beans and rice, often red beans.

Also we do rice with fish.

For other meals if we have plain rice we'll also have either corn or peas to kinda mix in to it.

If it's plain, I can do just a good soy on it like Kikomans, not regular soy though.

I like to buy the pre-seasoned rice as well.

I've been known to do this too:

No bother to me either, sometimes the sugar gets ants in it, just put it out in the sun where it is hot and they leave..

I know a lot of people would throw it out, but they do not even think how many ants, and other insects were on it when it was growing in the field.

[NEED-A-VETTE]

Sticky rice at my house. Rinse, rinse, soak, rinse, rinse, cook. Japanese rice cooker (Zojirushi).

My favorites on rice are Soboro or Japanese curry.

If you've never tried Japanese style curry...you need to. It's delicious. Nothing like Indian curry...it's more of a thick stew with potatoes, carrots, onions and meat (chicken, beef or pork). Serve it over the rice. Serve with fukujinzuke on the side. You can also serve it with tonkatsu (pork cutlet) or chicken Katsu...made with panko. The curry is super easy to make...one pot. Even the Katsu is easy.

Hmmmmm...I think I've just decided what's for dinner tomorrow. :leaving:

Anyhow, definitely try it if you haven't. I'm not a fan of Indian curry. At all. :ack: Japanese curry is nothing like it, though.

There are a lot of brands (not my pic), but I prefer the House Brand...Kokumaro...hot. But I haven't really found a brand that I dislike.

This is what the mix looks like (below). The size of the batch you make determines how many squares you add. I usually make a big batch and we eat it for a few days. It's like chili, it's almost better the next day.

I usually add fewer onions than it calls for, but extra meat. And I simmer for longer with the water added, before adding he mix, to get the meat nice and tender. :cheers:

I'll make some this weekend and post the recipe and pics.

Edit: It's a favorite at my house whenever anyone comes over. My nieces and nephews love it...even the 3 and 4 year olds. (Usually do a batch of mild for the kids, though the hot isnt all that spicy.) I can't tell you how many people come out for a visit and the first thing they ask me is if I'll make curry. :rofl:

Sandy, that stew like curry thingamabob looks very similar to what my wife makes. It's good stuff. She'll throw chicken and/or pork in there too with the veggies. That's a great meal on a cold day. :seasix:

Sticky rice at my house. Rinse, rinse, soak, rinse, rinse, cook. Japanese rice cooker (Zojirushi).

My favorites on rice are Soboro or Japanese curry.

If you've never tried Japanese style curry...you need to. It's delicious. Nothing like Indian curry...it's more of a thick stew with potatoes, carrots, onions and meat (chicken, beef or pork). Serve it over the rice. Serve with fukujinzuke on the side. You can also serve it with tonkatsu (pork cutlet) or chicken Katsu...made with panko. The curry is super easy to make...one pot. Even the Katsu is easy.

Hmmmmm...I think I've just decided what's for dinner tomorrow. :leaving:

Anyhow, definitely try it if you haven't. I'm not a fan of Indian curry. At all. :ack: Japanese curry is nothing like it, though.

There are a lot of brands (not my pic), but I prefer the House Brand...Kokumaro...hot. But I haven't really found a brand that I dislike.

I thought I was the only white dude that makes and eats sticky rice.
I like the texture as long as it's not cooked too long and turns in to mush.
I love rice especially steamed rice all by itself.

As for curry's. Agreed that Indian curry is too strong. I like milder Caribbean curry's and Asian curry. A curried goat Roti with a side of ox-tail and dumplings would taste great right now.

It's one of my favorite meals. Either just curry rice or Katsu curry...definitely good on a cold day. It's like a comfort food in Japan. Curry places are everywhere, even in the train stations.

Soboro is also known as "sweet meat". It's kind of a salty/slightly sweet ground beef cooked up and served with rice. It's very commonly served in bento boxes in train stations, etc.

Katsu sandwiches, too, if you have leftover Katsu...which we usually do not. :rofl:

I can make it on the stove top, but it's much easier and more consistent in the rice cooker. The one we have is pressurized and has induction heating, so it all cooks really evenly. Plus, we can kept it on the "keep warm" setting and have rice for a few days.

Now that you've mentions dumplings, I'm craving some gyoza. :D

:iagree: Chicken curry is one of the few foods I will continue to eat long after I'm full just because it tastes so good. I have to force myself to prepare it in small batches to keep from hurting myself. :)
