Quit being a baby and eat your damn rice.

I love rice.

I find it relaxing.

I fucking love rice, I just hate how other people cook it. Everybody I know seems to have this thing for cooking rice until its mush and it's horrible.

>5 minute rice

>mixing rice with butter

I don't hate but I also don't love rice either. I just hate fags that masturbate to rice being cooked in a pot rather than a rice cooker.
It's just rice mate.

>>4114826
>mixing rice with butter
sounds like something americans would do

>>4114831
I microwave my rice.

>>4114832

It's actually Indian. Indians mix ghee in their rice and add salt and pepper.

Quite delicious, I assure you. One of my exes went to India and I often made such inspired dishes. He was never able to provide good examples but he did like the rice I used to make. I often added corn to it, too.

Depends on what kind of rice. When I was a kid all my parents bought was Uncle Ben's and I hated it. I still hate Uncle Ben's because it's shitty rice, but it's also true that I've branched out and have grown to appreciate different varieties of rice.

I'm with you, OP. I hate rice too.

>>4114818
Quit eating a baby and be your damn rice.

>>4114869
Okay brah.

I'm pretty sure its illegal to hate rice

dear god rice...

pls don't get me started on that horrid vegetable

I dont like Basmati or Jasmin rice, but otherwise its great.

rice rules because you can put anything in it and it works. veggies, curry, soup, kimchi - rice is a blank slate for all kinds of experimenting and culinary fun. if you hate rice, then i hate you.

rice has 3 stages.
> questioning
when you're trying to figure out if you like it or not.
> denial
you've had so much rice you dislike it.
> acceptance
you have rice so often you just accept it and like it.

also stop adding soy sauce to your rice
> americans

pretty much love all kinds of rice except for brown rice.

they're nasty but healthy

>>4114927
Y-you don't like two of the most fragrant rices...?

>>4114985

I will never stop drowning my rice with soy sauce. Or my noodles. Good day sir.

>>4114985

FUCK YOU, NO

-Amurica

I love rice. I love the HELL out of rice. I can eat that shit for every god damn meal for the rest of my life.

>mfw I'm on atkins and I can't have it anymore.

>>4114832
>>4114826
Rice + Butter + Lemon Juice + Black pepper = dear mother of god.

>>4114809
OP, you're kidding right??

>>4115049
Stop right there and go back to enjoying your rice!

This seems like the thread to ask.

So I've apparently been eating sticky rice at various restaurants/fast food places for a while now, yet I never knew it was a specific type of rice. I thought it was just some bland rice just cooked in some specific manner.

The question: how does one acquire sticky rice for home cooking? I don't ever recall reading such a name on any of the rice sold at the store. And would it require some sort of special preparation method to be... well, sticky?

I fucking love rice, especially japanese rice. rice goes well with anything.

>>4115049
adkins? ppl still do that? not healthy bro, not healthy.

rice is good. i like rice better than pasta

>>4115090
You mix your rice with rice vinegar. Almost any rice can be sticky when mixed with rice vinegar.

>>4115090
if you're talking about the rice at chinese restaurants then that's jasmine rice.

>>4115090
Short grain rice is more glutenous than long grain rices, as a general rule of thumb. Japanese rices, as a rule of thumb, are the short grain variety, while the sort we eat in America and can easily buy in bulk is longer grain.

You can get expensive bags of short grain rice at most grocery stores in the US under the name 'Botan', but if you go to an asian market, you can probably find more varieties and a better price per-pound. I usually get a huge 20 pound bag for about thirty bucks, which is still kind of expensive, but it's a LOT of rice. I use it for all my weeaboo cooking needs.

>>4114809
>I don't like rice at all and whenever it is served to me, I get a little angry and demand another form of starch.
so then you're still a kid. stop being such a douche to your moms brah

>>4114824
not everybody, just most murricans

>>4115274
If the jasmin rice you are getting is sticky then it's being cooked wrong.

>>4115302
This. You need to rinse the rice and (if possible) leave for 30 mins after washing before cooking. I would also sing the praises of a cheap rice cooker to get the cooking right.

>>4115331
I've never managed to master the art of rinsing my rise. Recipes always say to rinse until the water runs clear, but I can stand there and rinse for ten minutes and the water is still somewhat cloudy. Am I just being overly sensitive to an insignificant amount of cloudiness, or am I actually supposed to stand there and rinse my rise for half an hour?

>>4115378
what kind/brand of rice brah? it sounds like your trouble is cheap/low quality rice

>>4115378
I use nishiki rice and put it in a sieve in a bowl. Fill with cold water and run it around with my fingers, pull out the sieve (with the rice) dump the water, repeat and the water is pretty much clear.

>>4115378

Either you have really, really, really shitty rice or you are being overly sensitive. Probably the latter.

When you rinse it you should see an obvious decrease in the cloudiness of the water. That's when you should stop rinsing. It may never be perfectly 100% clear.

I love it with chicken and pork and in any type of stir fry.

Eat butt OP.

I believe this is the brand I usually buy. Packaging looks right, at least. I'll admit that I don't have the best variety to choose from.

>>4115454

That's koshihikari, a premium brand. That is not shitty rice by any means (assuming that's actually what you buy)

>>4115468
It is. I'm obviously just being over sensitive to the amount of cloudiness. Everything says 'rinse until the water runs clear', which I assumed to mean actually clear, not 'less cloudy.'

I'm going to stop being a faggot now.

I fucking love rice. Cold. With a cold raw egg and some salt.

>>4114809
>I get a little angry and demand another form of starch.

What, is rice "too mainstream" for you? Fucking hipster.

>>4114809
>I don't like rice at all....I get a little angry and demand another form of starch.
OP, stop being a childish little imp and grow the fuck up.

For everybody else, here's how I like my rice.

I add chicken broth powder, shredded cheese, and lemon juice to the water, stir, and let it cook into the rice. When the rice is done, if I feel it needs more shredded cheese, I'll mix it in and let it melt. When I eat it, I add some pepper to it, and bon apetit!

It's surprisingly delicious.

>>4115479

Clear means clear, and you need to constantly shake up the rice to get the loose starch off not just put the whole batch under running water.

Soaking the rice for 15 minutes first helps, then stir, drain, refill, repeat until the water is clear.

That said, don't be a bitch, seems its less an issue of the rice and more an issue of you can't cook it for shit.

I simply don't like rice. I mean, I can eat it and everything, but if there's an alternative, I usually go for that.

>>4115803
You mean you have a personal preference but aren't a total bitch about it?

Weird.

It's funny, but I have a very utilitarian view of rice.

I will eat it, and can enjoy it, but I am not picky about its preparation at all. My brother-in-law is Japanese and anal about rice, while I don't give a fuck.

But I am picky about bread quality. I guess I just don't have an appreciation for rice enough to care about the subtle nuances.

I used to hate rice but now I love it.

I haven't had white rice with anything that made me love it, fried rice is good though. Brown rice can suck a dick. Yellow rice, though, I can eat that shit plain all the time.

On its own I'm not particularly fond of it. It's unobtrusive enough that I often just mix it with whatever else I'm eating.

>>4116806
I meant cals, not carbs.

I love rice, but at 200 cals a cup it's fucking loaded with carbs.

>>4116807
A cup of rice is a pretty sizable amount after cooking. Enough to completely satisfy my hunger anyway.

I'm chinese and I hate rice.
I fucking hate it, I dont eat anything with rice. I am basically breaking the asian code of life.
I need to fake it and eat rice when im with my parents or id be fucking disowned.

>>4115090
I'm not sure if we're on the same page, but it's called glutinous rice, it's a pearly white short grain rice that has to be cooked in a bamboo rice steamer.

>>4114927

You're an idiot.

I generally don't eat rice or pasta. I like barley and lentils and lettuce instead for fillers. Barley has that fantastic chewy texture oh god I love it.

I don't hate rice/pasta I just don't generally cook it. I won't eat spaghetti or meatloaf unless someone else makes it either. It actually helps me a lot with dieting, since I just have to watch my dairy/nut/chocolate intake. I do love my cheese.

>>4115090
I bought this big sack of applewood smoked sushi rice at my local asian food store for like $5. It's like 4 boxes of instant rice sized.

Smells amazing and has a mildly sweet taste.

>>4114985
>americans
>Not chinese people on south america
Google "arroz chaufa". Wanna guess why is it that color?

>>4116849
Dirty Spics

The foods i get more adicted to, are the bland standard carbohydrates i.3. bread, tortilla, rice

if i could live off just bread, totillas and rice, with the ocassional steak, id be happy

apologize for poor english, im american

>>4116849
sauce?

>>4116937
yup. soy sauce.

Cuba here

I didnt know it was possible to hate rice.... do you hate bread too you fuck

I almost can't stand rice. I don't like pasta either. Bread and potatoes, those are good. The only time I like rice is if it is a REALLY good spanish rice that comes with a mexican dinner. but 90% of the time the spanish rice sucks and I don't eat it. If made right though it can be damn good.

>>4116816
Yu dish-honah ya famarah, yeungling.

>>4116814
Oh, I thought after cooking it was 200 cals.
Damn nutrition sites.

>Hating fried rice.

Is this even possible?

>>4117144
Oh, it's possible.

Plain rice is a bit boring.
<---------------------------
Pic related tastes much better

>>4115053
>2am
>read this post
>stomach starts growling
why do you do these things to me, /ck/.

I like to eat pasta with just butter and rice just cooked.
Deal with it.

>>4117238
>just cooked

Apparently you like to drink too.

I like rice, it's not very filling, though.

When I was a poor child, I had boiled rice with tuna mayo and sweetcorn. Shit was bomb ass.

why is it a crime to soy sauce rice?

I hate rice for a variety of reasons

> not a source of proteins
> no vitamins or minerals
> no flavor

Absolutely no redeeming qualities unless you throw lots of herbs/spices. You know the feeling of being hungry? Rice feels like that

>>4117284

It's not.

>>4117284
Rice in my country is supposed to be JUST rice.

Screw that noise, I like to mix in some soy sauce for flavor too

>>4114824
Hah, tell them to make the rice:water cup ratio by 1:1.

>>4116824
>dirty curry-nigger detected

>>4114985
I like to douse my rice with soy sauce only if it's dished with (Asian) BBQ Pork.

A cup 'o rice stir fried in about a table spoon of butter, a couple of eggs over easy on top, salt & pepper to taste.

>>4117540
Plenty of champions eat it / ate it. What cave did you grow up in?

Dirty Rice is the only good thing to come from Louisiana.
Arroz con pollo is great Hispanic food.

>>4117582
You should try some authentic Cajun cooking before making such a pathetic blanket statement

>>4117582
Jambalaya, Gumbo, Etouffee, Smoked sausages, Sauce piquant, and everyone's own homestyle version of a good ol' rice and gravy made in a cast iron pot. Among many others

>>4117622
>swamp garbage cooked by French-Canadians who then passed it on to their illiterate kin

Nope.

>>4117284
It's not. In my country, when people are too poor to cook a dish that accompanies the rice, they just splash soy sauce on all over it. Sometimes, rock salt will do. Some people even put - I shit you not - coffee on it.

you make me incredisad. ALL Lousiana foods fuck everything

>>4117582
dat chicken grease mixed with that rice

Oh fuck my heart just came

>whenever it is served to me, I get a little angry and demand another form of starch.
...

>>4114809
grow up

I don't mind rice but I prefer wheat for my carbs... and so only eat rice if it's forced on me

>>4114809
FuCK RICE!!!! FUCK IT FUCK IT FUCK THAT VILE RICE AND GIMMIE YUMMY BEANS INSTEAD!

plain rice makes me want to find people to beat up and take their waffles

>>4114831
If anyone's making regular, fluffy, white rice on a stove rather than a rice cooker, they're hipster idiots.

>>4119861
Rice cookers are the epitome of hipster.

I love me some sticky rice.

All other forms are shit though

I don't think I've ever had rice properly cooked. I have a soft spot for my grandma's rice cooked with ham broth. It's fucking amazing. It was utterly disappointing she didn't make it this Thanksgiving.

Rice's awesome. Heh, I always love to eat some sticky coconut rice in cold nights.

Oh, look, another LOLOLOL WEEABOO FOOD IS SHIT MURRICUH FUK YEAR thread.

How's it possible to hate rice?

>>4121499
You can let this thread die any day now, OP.

>>4119954
How can people be in so much denial of how shitty American food is? You guys barely eat fish unless it's fried, nothing is delicately seasoned or savory, it's just big hunks of meat with cheese and BBQ and brocolli (gotta get ur veggies boy)

OP is an astronomical faggot. sage.

i didnt know it was even possible to hate rice

>rice with sriracha, a little soy and some peanut sauce

>>4121592
>all of america is the south

One of my standbys for when I've got to cook up the leftover leaf in my fridge is to sautee the lot in soy sauce with garlic and ginger, then serve over rice.

You're not even trying

>>4124592
>>mfw all Southeast Asian use them
East Asians, too.

Just let it go, OP.

I like nearly every food when it's done right. I don't fucking get how people still hate a food.
