voting a short-grain rice over a long-grain rice is the rice equivalent of mass murder
Sushi, man. Plus any and all other japanese rice dishes.

why do you people not understand risotto, in the rice thread no less
intentionally using you people as a racially loaded term here btw, why tiptoe around it

i just think it would be easier if we resegregated cuisines, then these issues wouldn't arise

i'm pretty certain that rice is my single favorite food of all time. of the polled rices: i make brown rice probably about 1/3 of the time and probably basmati and jasmine about equal, too. i have no point i just never thought about it before. and my consumption of japanese style rice is probably double these three put together. rice is nice. and then there's black and white quinoa(!)

has anybody ever had black rice

I am curious

I have cooked black rice. It was not so exciting that I ever felt compelled to repeat.
― quincie, Sunday, 6 November 2011 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, but how did it taste
― ASPIE Rocky (dayo), Sunday, 6 November 2011 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
jealous of the Thai jasmine style I see

man, nobody goes into a thai restaurant and thinks to herself "I am going to leave a path of ruin and destruction at the dining table when they bring me the jasmine rice"

BTW, while basmati or jasmine are fine plain, short grain with furikake sprinkled over the top beats either.
― der dukatenscheisser (Sanpaku), Monday, 7 November 2011 00:09 (twelve years ago) link
furikake sounds kinda excessive, i thought it was gonna be more a dukkap kinda thing ie not have ground fish in it
― Abattoir Educator / Slaughterman (schlump), Monday, 7 November 2011 00:12 (twelve years ago) link
dukka, rather
The black rice tasted like rice. It was short grained and leaned toward the sticky end of the spectrum. It did look pretty cool, but honestly the taste was nothing special imo.

Guys cheese and rice dishes exists solely so to remind us we don't have to take the savior's name in vain. "Oh cheese and rice, I just shut my hand in the door." Which is why I am eating a black rice risotto this April to celebrate His birth while I faux-blaspheme in His honor. It will be kind of disgusting but I can be a food ascetic one day of the year.

imo risotto is an excuse to stand around sipping white wine for 24 minutes while you stand over a high heat pan stirring rice. Last time I went to visit my parents I cooked it for them and without imbibing wine during and after the whole process the whole thing is really just an endurance exercise.

I eat just regular old white rice a lot, so that's probably my favorite (butter, salt, chicken stock). Also (well prepared) risotto is delicious, you weirdos.
And I have a brown rice cooking pro tip! It is from the Joy of Cooking! And it is this: bake it! Bring one cup of rice to 2-1/4 cup water/stock to boil on the stove top in an over-safe pot w/ a lid or a range-safe casserole dish. Pop the lid on it and put it in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes.
Here's the recipe Joy of Cooking recipe for baked brown rice with mushrooms, which I make a lot (often with cubed up baked tofu added for protein so this is all I have to cook):
Preaheat over to 350. Melt 3 T of butter or olive oil in a "2-quart stovetop-to-over casserole" aka:http://s9.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/DB9479B2.jpgAdd and cook until lightly browned 1-1/2 c coarsely chopped mushrooms, 1/2 c chopped onions, 1 clove garlic finely chopped.Add and stir until coated 1 c brown rice, 1/8 t black pepper.Add 2-1/4 c. chicken stock, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Cover and bake for 45 minutes (or until all the stock is absorbed).

Measurements are from the JoC. I wing everything except the rice to stock ratio. Leftover chicken also works well instead of tofu.

Jenny I have that EXACT corningware (maybe?) casserole dish! Have never used it for rice, but it was U&K for gratins when cooking for one.
― quincie, Monday, 7 November 2011 01:41 (twelve years ago) link
It's Corningwear! I have a hand-me-down set from my mom. I love it so much (but if there's one thing I've truly embraced about living it the midwest, it's casseroles).

Mine is also from my mom! It is very handy and I refuse to get rid of it.

my mom used to have that corning dish too. don't remember if she still does.

As a good Cuban boy I must consume rice at least once a week, but even my 87-year-old abuela now sees the wisdom in cooking jasmine rice for herself.

I ruined my first attempt at risotto three Sundays ago; most of the rice remained uncooked.

No need. She'll happily cook, and while doing so explain why she prefers the Barefoot Contessa to Bobby Flay.

we didn't have a casserole dish but some of our plates had that design on them
my mom must've made 50% of our dinners in that corning dish - feelin nostalgic for her chicken & rice, not so much all the casseroles
― chief rocker frankie crocker (m coleman), Monday, 7 November 2011 02:26 (twelve years ago) link
we weren't much of a casserole family but i have good memories of my mom making things like baked mac & cheese in that corning dish.

Next time I visit my parents I am going to steal the olive-green casserole dish which was exclusively devoted to tuna noodle casserole. Never saw anything else cooked in there. I'm sure it is somewhere in that house.

It's got a little something for everyone (including black rice, dayo).
