I like the pork fried rice from Chinese restaurants the best. However, Mexican food is one of my favorites too, so I would have to say that Mexican rice is my second favorite.

I love rice and eat it much more often than potatoes, which are supposed to be our staple starch here. Chinese fried rice is my favorite. I make it with a tiny bit of sausage or other spicy meat, whatever leftover vegetables I have like shell beans, broccoli, onions, peas and so on, and a scrambled egg. I'm cooking wild rice right now, in chicken broth and it smells so good!

I am an Indian and hail from southern part of the country where we have rice as our staple food. So naturally rice is liked by default! We have different types of preparing rice. Rice is cooked with sugar and milk to form a sweet rice which is called 'Kheer' is a delicious dish. Rice is prepared with tamarind juice after treating it with some spices fried in oil and it is a typical south Indian food. It is also prepared in the similar way after adding lemon juice. Some people add ,pulses and spices to prepare a dish called as 'Khichri'. When rice is prepared with vegetables and spices it is called as 'Vegetable Pulav' and if special spices are added we term it as 'Vegetable Biryani". When Meat is used to cook along with rice and spices this is called 'Mutton Biryani' and the chicken is a variant in this variety.Rice is used to prepare 'idli' after adding this to soaked grams and making it to a paste and steaming it. there are many varieties of snacks prepared from Rice in our country. Typically every home prepares plan white rice where simply water is added to cook it and this is consumed with curry or Dal (cooked pulses0, or with curds. Normally people used to prepare rice in earthen pots earlier which have got replaced by aluminium vessels and today rice is cooked in Pressure Cookers and Electrical rice cookers. We use microwave oven at our place to cook rice! Hot rice with 'Dal' and ghee is a very tasty food which every south Indian villager relishes as milk and milk products are plentifully available at village level or at country side! Thanks !

Chinese rice, garlic rice and java rice :) I dont know how they do the java rice (That's what they call it here, it is the yellow rice). For the garlic rice, fried the garlic then place the rice and add some rock salt :) And for the Chinese rice, yuuum!~ the aroma of sesame oil is sooooo good.

I love Chicken Fried Rice and going out to eat and getting it. I like it when they cook right in front of you and make it and its steaming hot and i think thats the best way to eat it. I do like white rice as well but would rather eat the chicken fried rice. I barely ever cook Yellow Rice even thought it is tasty and pretty good too. I find it to be not so easy to cook and would rather stick to the bagged rice and boil the water.

I like my rice cooked with broccoli and a light cheese sauce, if it is for dinner. but for breakfast I like my rice cooked plain, and served with sugar and cream.

Well my friend for me it has to be Mexican rice all the way!!! Yummy!! Now I would like some even though every time I try to make it it does not come out just right but I did get close done time. L.O.L.So I prefer a family member or friend who knows how to cook it to cook it but even better get it already made at my favorite Mexican restraunt down the street!!

I like rice, but have to lessen my consumption because it adds to my belly bulge at a verrry alarming rate! I like brown rice because of its health benefits. I like red rice, because it looks pretty I like plain white, too. Always loved chinese fried rice. Crazy about nasi goreng (Indonesian fried rice). Love Korean bibimpap (rice with all sorts of veggies, meat, egg, chili). Love sushi and kimpap. All this talk is making me hungry!

I like plain brown rice, but I also love fried rice with pineapple chunks, carrot, green peas and corn kernels. It is so delicious.I froze the rice first before I fry it.
