I'm not Asian... I live in Japan. I'll post. I eat a lot of white short grain rice. How couldn't I? It's everywhere. Sometimes we mix brown rice in. There are some fancy brands that people pay a lot of money for but to tell the truth I am all about the okazu (main dish).

Who likes mochi?

I might be missing something here, but why are Asians supposed to understand rice better than anyone else? Hasn't rice always been pretty much everywhere?

not really Ath, kind of, but its always been a main food crop in asian countries for most of their history, where as most of the rest of the world primarily consumed other grains...

Try wild rice through brown, or through white.

I like making a wild rice salad. Put wild rice through white rice (or brown rice, if you prefer). Then put through cranberries, some toasted slivered almonds and coriander. For dressing, use ginger with OJ. This results in a big bowl o' YUM!

It's a play on rice being used to describe asian influence so I'm just goofing around with our stereotype. :)

Yukimi Daifuku? I like coffee daifuku. Coffee syrup and cream wrapped in mochi. My favourite way is toasted mochi with soy sauce wrapped in nori. Isobeyaki.
The former is delicious while the latter I haven't tried. Now I have to try it so thanks for the recommendation!

Yes, that's it! A local restaurant makes a specialty dish where they add corn and a few other ingredients to the rice and then top it with lobster that's been wok fried with their chef's secret ingredients. Absolutely to die for! Heart, heart, heart.

The video quality isnt the best and the music is cheesy :) but this lady is a pretty darn good cook, for Korean cooking tips check out her website :)

Dukbokki is delish :) P.S. You can eat rice cake by itself too (the fresh non frozen kind of course), dipped in sugar. yummy :)

For me, the best kind of rice is the regular Brown Rice, the worst is quick-cook White Rice (no Nutritional value)
If you are cooking specific dishes then certain rice varieties are better than others.

Yahhhh! More mochi ball lovers. People seem to love or hate them with a passion.

:worthy:

Explain this "cinnamon mochi" thing to me, please. I was only aware of the green tea, chocolate, mango and is there strawberry or am I making that up? I lub cinnamon.

when making the Mochi, I just mixed cinnamon in from the beginning... ^_^ no different from a basic mochi recipe other than the addition of cinnamon...

I like rice that has a good taste (basmati and that sort). Once I ate rice at my aunts and that rice had no taste at all. "Well, there are many yummy yummy veggies on the table that you can use to add taste to the rice," yeah right! What's the use of any kind of food when it doesn't have a taste anyways? I don't get it.
