Chestnut rice

Same as @owlwings, my favorite ways of cooking rice is risotto and Spanish paella, but I also appreciate pilau rice to serve with curries. In summer I also make a rice salad, boiled rice, shrimps, and vegetables cooked and marinated in olive oil.

My favourite ways of eating rice are as a paella or as a risotto. I also like both plain and pilau rice with Indian dishes. Occasionally I cook rice with some kind of small bean or lentil. Both rice and the smaller pulses take about the same time to cook, so it is convenient to boil them together. I have seen recipes for a (cold) salad of rice, roasted chestnuts and dried cranberries or apricots which look interesting and colourful but I am not a big fan of rice salads.

This is really new to me. Unfortunately even if I want to try it, chestnuts are not easily available in our country.

I never added anything to rice except soy sauce. Or like fried rice. I am missing out!

Sounds very yummy.

We add kuri to our chinese rice dumplings too and they are amazing. My mom cooks a tasty rice dish called nasi lemak (fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk, pandan leaf and ginger). It goes well with meat curries and sambal chilli sauce. Photo: My nasi lemak with beef rendang take out

Rice as a staple food in asia is now widely accepted in western countries. Rice here in the Philippines is sometimes cooked with pandan or okra. That's what my mother does with rice.

I can eat "gohan" just plain - I love any kind from jasmine, basmati, to Japanese short grain rice - mostly white, but I have grown to enjoy brown as well. I like plain gohan as it goes with anything from meats to veggies - and oh saucy stuff like kare (curry) and stews of various cultures. I do like to make fried rice with leftover rice - with carrots, peas, green onions, and eggs with a bit of shoyu (soy sauce) and black pepper. Sometimes with rice mixes (various rices which include wild rice which is not an actual rice), I cook it with chicken broth for extra flavor. Oh and with basmati rice, I will sometimes add olive oil and a touch of salt to the water.

Not a big fan of rice, I prefer potatoes and noodles.

I cook here with Cuminseed fried in oil with green peppers and then we cook rice with water and simmer it until water dries.

that sounds NICE! I love sashimi don.. tuna & salmon on top of rice with avocado. Also love a good oyakodon.

I miss eating rice in Japan, no matter what I do here it doesn't seem to be quite right!

I like rice as rice - not with things added to it.

My way of eating rice is very ordinary. I like fried rice and rice pudding.

I do not think chestnuts are available here, so we do not use it while cooking rice. If we want to relish different kind of rice, we add peas and potatoes in it with a dash of black pepper to make it a kind of pulav.
