My girlfriend just recently introduced me to the wonders of a rice cooker and now I eat rice daily. What are some of the favorite recipes out there in ATOT land? I have been going back and forth between soy sauce and butter with salt/pepper.

All rice is yummy. :D Except the moving kind. :disgust: <--- That's not a disgusted emotion. It should be green with a tongue hanging out and looking like it's about ready to puke. I'm disgusted with the looks of the disgusted emotion.

Dude, Uncle Ben's is the best white rice. Ever. I've tried those crazy Asian brands at the store, and they have so much starch on them, it's like eating pudding compared to Uncle Ben's.

Steamed Uncle Ben's with real butter on it? Oh, yeah. Add some black eyed peas and jalapenos on top, you've got a 1st class meal.

Edit: I thought this thread was about the football game. :eek:

You never heard of washing the rice first before cooking.

I tried that, but I'm not sure I did it right, because it didn't make much difference.

I don't eat much rice though, and I like the texture of Uncle Ben's.

Long grain rice is the best.. Basmati or whatever, if it's the same thing. I don't like sticky white rice.

Basmati rice with some sort of spicy type chicken in it is awesome.

Meat being main, and rice being side dish is why Americans are so fat and have to STOP eating carbohydrates to get normal.

lack of excercise and overeating in general are why americans are so fat. it has nothing to do with what you consider your main course.

Checkout girl @ asian market last week: "You sure you want this rice? (pointing to 25 lb bag of sticky rice) I'll got get you good rice."

My daughters both said "Noooo, we like sticky rice."

I still haven't cooked brown rice right in my cooker, it's supposed to soak in the cooker for an hour before you turn it on?

:D:D:D
