any other asians suffer from "have to eat rice with every meal" syndrome?

hence i said 99% of my meals...

That would be 66% of your meals then. I thought you guys were supposed to be good at math.

Good catch.

I am not asian, and I like rice. Not quite every meal, but probably as often as potatoes, and more often than pasta. Rice > Pasta IMO.

 

[LongCoolMother]

im asian and ironically. i hate rice. i hardly ever eat it, if ever. my parents used to get p!ssed because id eat everything and shove the rice aside.

its weird. i eat all kinds of REAL chinese food (been all over china as well) but i still hate eating rice.

 

[EvilYoda]

I was lucky enough to have a mom who cooked traditional Chinese fare 4 out of 5 weekdays and usually made something non-Chinese or took us out. On the weekends, we usually went to a family friend's house at least once so that was up in the air.

Rice is a comfort food of sorts for me, but I don't absolutely need to have it.

 

[Nerva]

i moved out, so no. i actually eat at the firm everyday, so not chinese everyday. i miss it though.

 

[waggy]

I love rice. i have it maybe 3-6 times a week. plain white rice goes with any meat i have tried.

heck sometimes i make up a cup of rice and some easy sauce and eat it like that. yumm. if it was'nt such a pain to make i would make it every day.

also gets hard after about an hour.

huh...my rice usually goes soft after an hour...



(BTW, rice-maker FTW!)

Rice pretty much goes good with anything.

Steak though, is fine with potatoes/vegtables/steak fries.

... but rice would make it better.

It just balances everything out. You can eat (almost) ANYTHING with rice.

HeroOfPellinor, it would still be 99%... I hardly ever eat cereal. Breakfast is sauteed eggs on rice w/soy sauce.

well it gets dried out so it gets crunchy heh.

yeah i want a rice maker. heard they keep the rice fresh longer etc.

just can't bring myself to pay the price for one heh

 

[EvilYoda]

That was actually a pathetic euphemism for my penis.

As for a rice cooker, they are so worth it, but don't skimp out and buy a cheap one. Either go to a Chinatown or ask people who already have one. yay for fuzzy logic.

 

[batmang]

lol, i suffer from this syndrome. its horrible. (im serious.)

Potatoes are MUCH more nutritious than rice, FYI.

Then why do rice eaters live longer than potato eaters?

because we also eat dog and 17 thousand year old crab and lobsters that have claws bigger than your entire b0dy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rice FTW!!@%%

 

[Kelvrick]

I just need something to balance it out. The mashed potatoes or baked will do it with a steak.

I can eat just meat as long as its not too salty or strong. I just need the rice when I need it to balance out something. In my experience, thats why a lot of older asians never cook other ethnic foods at home. They'll follow a recipe meant to eat alone, then think its all bland when they eat it with rice.

 

[Juno]

you are not alone. i love rice and i want to eat any meals with rice.

<~~ korean

edit: and no, i won't eat american meals with rice. that's a bad combination!!! burgers with rice? EW.

 

[thecrecarc]

iim asn and some food NEEDS rice, like chinese food. without it is just weird.

but other food, no rice, or few at all. steak with rice? that isnt right. ribs with rice? chili dog with rice? hamburger with rice?

uh... no.

Damn, I can't imagine cleaning pots and pans for every freaking meal. Are you lactose intolerant.

I like rice too, but a large part of my diet is cereals, sandwiches and pastas. Partly because they're wholesome and hearty, but also because they're quicker and less cleanup.

That said, I'll probably be making stir-fry tonight with some New York Strip and serving it over white rice.

I like rice, but barely eat it, I grew up in Korea and now I eat rice about once or twice a month. I need to buy a rice cooker

 

[LennyZ]

How many rice eaters here have a $200+ rice cooker?

I was shopping for one in an asian supermarket and was amazed at their prices.

Could it have to do with the massive culture differences between Asians and Westerners?


Brown rice is has lots of vitamins and minerals http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-C00001-01c21U3.html

But unenriched white rice has little vitamins, although there is a lot of manganese. http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-C00001-01c21Vr.html

Compare to a potato with skin

Bought it at Costco. Yeah it's a little more expensive, but the flavor is worth it.

 

[imported_Imp]

I don't feel the need to eat rice, but really don't mind if I do have to eat it every meal. Then again, I have grain/staple fetish; can't get enough of bread, potatos and rice all in one meal.

Nah, I still drink like 4-5 glasses of milk a day. Eggs, soy sauce, & rice makes for a damn good breakfast though, beats cereal by far if you can wake up just a bit earlier to make it.

Cleanup isnt that bad either... I wash bowls/plates/whatever I eat off of right after I finish eating, and clean all the stuff I used to cook things in later at night.

Dude, I have a cheap ($40) rice cooker from Target and it still does a nice job.
