What kind of rice is good to eat on it's with nothing else on it?
I went to a Mongolian place recently and they had this amazing complementary rice that was slightly sticky and i had 2 bowls of it with nothing on it, no soy, no sauce, just plain rice.
I'm on a slight budget and i'm getting tired of beans and I'd like to pick up a giant bag of rice that's half decent to just eat on it's own or maybe with some soy sauce.
Brown rice has really good flavour. I don't know if this is within your budget.
Wild is even better.
Basmati is pretty cheap, also good.
Is "wild" a type of rice? I don't know much about the different kinds of rice out there. I walk down the isle at the store and it feels like there's about 90 different kinds of rice on the shelf.
As far as brands go I like Nishiki.
What kind of peasant eats plain old rice though?
It probably doesn't matter. Try them all.
Wild rice is a type of grass seed. Its really popular in Minnesota. Its quite good, but not cheap. Lots more texture/flavor than rice, give it a try. Sometimes its sold as a blend with other rice.
Any brown or par-boiled rice.
White rice is for plebs.
You're talking about "sticky" rice if you're after what you had at the mongolian place. It's called "short grain" at stores so look for that.
My vote is for wild. It's definitely not the cheapest, but the taste is good and it's amazing for you. It's the trail mix of rice.
don't get a big bag. unless you can keep bugs out.
bout a fucking 20lb bag of jasmine rice. fucking delicious rice. mmm man did i pig out when i first opened that shit. ate it 3 days in a row. hadn't even put a dent in it.
