What Do You Have on/with Your Rice?

whitelie on 28/05/2021 - 23:09

I was eating some Chicken Teriyaki and rice today, with necessary Kewpie and it got me thinking that I eat Kewpie with rice but would never have regular mayo with rice.

When I was growing up, my mum would always put butter on our rice and we'd have potato crisps as a poor version of pappadums or a cup of chicken stock (from a stock cube, no Campbells back then) as a makeshift soup….I still do a lot of this today.

Does anyone else have anything on/with their rice that is normal for them but others may consider it odd? Or any flavour sensations that I should know about?

    Soy sauce, sesame oil. Furikake. Kewpie, meat floss. Canned gluten in soy sauce. Canned fish. Seaweed. Inside soup - miso paste or stock powder, garlic powder and hot water. Or mixed in with those Japanese ochazuke packets. Pickles.

    Not all of the above at once though.

    We use basmati rice so just good old Amul ghee is beautiful. Or ghee and cumin. Or biryani :D

  • Ryan3019 on 30/05/2021 - 17:39

    you can eat anything with rice (jasmine rice).

    Its a south Indian thing, but: plain yoghurt and Basmati rice (3rd course, 1st being chapatti + curry, 2nd being rice + curry)

    If desired, add one of the following on the side:
    -some salt
    -potato chips
    -some curry from your main meal
    -lemon, mango pickle etc

    Best comfort food and cools you down after spicy curry

      South Indian rice varieties taste better than basmati IMO. Also Greek Yogurt is even better, but pricey.

    Why not "rice and curry" like majority of regular rice eaters on planet do? Coming from sub continent background, I can't think of eating rice with anything else.. There are hundreds of rice varieties with different appearance, texture, smell and taste and each of them have their own unique characteristics. Asians (including India that is) mastered rice eating and you should take some advise from them if you want some serious experience (else it'll be like asking an Indian 'what should I eat pasta with'. I'd probably say 'curry perhaps😀😀')

    • whitelie on 30/05/2021 - 18:14

      I guess I'm more after condiments and oddities than a blanket response of "curry". Is there something you have with your curry and rice that makes it somewhat unique to you/your families recipe?
      I think we have a pretty diverse audience here that we can get (and have got) some interesting answers.

        There you go, mate. This is the first thing that came to my mind without the word 'curry' (because you could eat rice without curry this way).

      Majority of the rice eaters (I guess sub continent would make the majority here) eat rice with daal and curry is the second alternative (in lieu of daal normally). Daal-rice is a staple in many regions where daal can be in different forms such as sambar, rasam, plain daal, daal tadka, daal makhni and so on, depending on the region of the sub continent. Btw, Daal is also spelt as 'Dal' or 'Dahl' so not to be confused. It's not just the plain rice that people have with daal but also many rice dishes such as dosa, idli, uttapam, etc, in addition to chapati (which is a wheat item).

      Thai and Mexican are another major cuisines with much use of plain rice in their dishes often had with gravies.

  • endolphin on 30/05/2021 - 18:19

    T sauce (tomato sauce) and white long grain rice is legit one of my favourite foods to eat. Not mixed in. On the side. I will often have this for dinner, plus a meat pie, but no sauce for the meat pie!

    Yes, I am a bit weird.

    One of the best things to put on rice (which, in all honesty, goes with everything really) is this by Kenji. If you're sick, apart from porridge, try chicken broth poured over white rice.

    We tried hello fresh for a bit and they said to start with melting a bit of butter and gently frying a bit of garlic and ginger before adding the rice / water. Absolute game changer and something we do every time now.

    Aside from that in regard to 'toppings' it's whatever the meal calls for. We have sweet chilli glazed chicken thighs with some fried veggies and the leftover glaze goes onto the rice. Fried rice gets a generous helping of hoisin and soy sauce, sushi gets soy, etc. For dessert I like to heat some leftover rice (cooked in just water) with a bit of sugar and milk and then dust it with cinnamon once it's in a bowl - really nice and creamy and just hits the spot.

  • bazingaa on 31/05/2021 - 08:54

    mayo with rice

    :O

    I have 3 or 4 vegitables (could be leafy green, mushroom, potato , other vegitables etc) with rice ( + egg/tuna/salmon/anchovies stir fry or some thing like that occasionally). You can make in bulk and keep in fridge for a week (don't freeze).

    Tips to make a good curry:

    1. Use coconut milk (not coconut cream) for base
    2. Add dried tuna flakes called Maldive Fish for umami

    Specialities:

    Curry : Young Jack fruit curry, Jack fruit curry, Cashew nut curry, Ambultiyal (Sour fish curry) , Prawn curry, Kang Kung (Water spinach) stir fry, Ceylon Spinich curry (with Dhal), Young mango curry, Banana flower curry, Pineapple curry, Anchovies stir fry

    Condiments : Coconut sambal, Pickle (shallot, carrots, green papaya, green chilli etc in coconut vinegar) , Katta sambal (Spicy Chilli+Maldive Fish+Onion ground with motor & pestal), "Lunu Mirris" (Chilli + Onion), Onion sambal, Fried bitter gourd salad, Sini sambal (Suger + Onion sauteed), Gotu Kola sambal ( Gotu Kola + grated coconut), Green papaya salad, Fried fish

    Oddities : Tuna cutlet (actually croquettes), Dhal wada

    Black pepper!

    I like to have my meals separated (ie Chicken in side of large plate, rice on the other side), or sometimes in different bowls. I don't like when the rice gets wet/soggy and I know I'm not alone in this.

    PS: medium grain, white rice. Cooked with a little salt and butter, mediterranean style.

      Maggi Seasoning?
      I love the stuff.

      Someone mentioned soy sauce on fried eggs, never tried. We always had Maggi on our fried eggs! Dip some crusty bread in the runny yolk with a hint of maggi seasoning.

      And for those that love Kechup, tomato sauce or baked beans. Try adding some maggi seasoning to it.

      My parents grew up in Vietnam, Dad would make ketchup fried rice quite often. He said it was French Vietnamese thing, since they don't cook with soy sauce.

      When I moved out and started cooking for myself, I found the baked bean fried rice, extremely cheap and easy meal. goes well with pork, either minced, or some chopped up ham.

      • raptormesh on 03/06/2021 - 00:22
