A staple food for some parts of the world and a source of carbohydrate. There are quite a number of variant of rice that is available out there. Each variant comes with different nutritional value and can be of different shape, size, colour, texture and taste.
A few days in a week, I would eat rice with dishes, such as fish, chicken and vegetables. I usually mix between brown rice and white rice. White rice goes very well with curry. Image by Pille-Riin Priske on Unsplash
Most time, before I start eating the rice with dishes, I would eat a small spoonful of rice first to taste the rice before mixing with anything else to appreciate the taste of plain rice.
One of my favourite ways to enjoy rice is soaking my plate or bowl of rice with gravy, allowing the rice to soak up all the taste. Image by Baiq Daling on Unsplash
Sushi is always a beautiful mix of colour and taste. Their flavours are enhanced when dipped in soy sauce enhanced by a wee bit of wasabi. Image by Jonathan Forage on Unsplash
A couple of years back, I came across a video whereby rice was used to save a soaking wet mobile phones that have been accidentally dropped into water. Image by Matthew Lakeland on Unsplash
