Do you like that plain steam white rice? Or do you like the fried one, yellow, brown? For me just the simple steam white rice is really good, but sometimes for variation i love those fried rice and that yellow spanish rice.

Rice is our staple food and I love rice that is plain steam white rice, because we always prepare vegetable curry and other side dishes which are mixed with rice and consumed.

We also make lemon rice, nothing but 1) plain rice, a small quantity of lemon concentrated juice, coriander leaves, groundnuts, pepper, turmeric powder, salt, chilies, etc etc. all mixed and served. It really gives a good taste.

And of course, if you have some divine sambar, rasam and potato fry with it, your day is made. 1

Simply great , my friend . Plain white rice with sambar , a curry made of urad dal, a leafy vegetable mix-up, a dash of lemon pickle, a cup of rich creamy curd - a sumptuous meal. What else would anyone desire for ?

i like mine plain white..but in the morning, i like frying it, adding peas, meat in cubes and butter. There are also times that i put chicken or pork cubes while cooking it in the rice cooker, for flavor, my son just loved it!

I have never met any rice that I didn't like, ibuemma, LOL. When we were growing up we used to eat it with butter and sugar. It was delicious. After I became an adult I learned to eat it with salt and pepper. I love fried rice and Spanish rice. Rice is a wholesome and nutritious food. It is very good with gravy spooned over it.

I like plain steamed rice best. I'll have this sometimes plain for dinner, or I might fry some vegetables and put them on top.

I love fried rice, man I could eat that stuff non stop if given the chance. But my oldest now she loves just plain old white rice with nothing added to it, YUCK. That child also loves plan spegetti to, no sauce or anything.

sound like my kids. Anything tiny little green dot on their rice and pasta they won't eat it. Just simple plain.

I like all different kinds. it really depends on what I'm making with it I guess. I like white rice if I am going to put something on it, like a gravy or sauce or something. sometimes I like brown rice, but only from my favorite chinese restaurant. I also love jambalaya.. dirty rice. yellow rice.. I love rice-a-roni..lol so all different kinds. if I eat the same kind all the time then I get sick of it.

Variation is good. But funny thing I never get sick with that white steamed rice. I mean I can't eat just fried rice every time, it will make me sick, but not the plain white one.

When I prepare rice for one or two persons I like it to be steamed as I just have to wash the porcelain big bowl instead of the rice cooker. All members of my family are rice lovers and we could even take rice in every meal of the day. Most of the time we prefer rice mixed with brown rice. Occasionally we do take unpolished rice but it’s a bit expensive here. White rice cooked in coconut milk when taken together with chicken curry is delicious indeed. I also enjoy eating toast cheese seafood clay pot rice.

I prefer my breakfast in fired rice, if ever possible. But most of the times, we just eat plain white steamed rice. Sometimes we just put margarine on it, after boiling to create a very appealing aroma!;)

My favorite is jasmine white rice. I get bags of this type of rice from Trader Joe's. I also like sushi rice but I never make it at home, I just eat it at sushi restaurants.

I love eatin rice and I especially like the plain ones. But it still depends on waht kind of viand I have to go with it. If the viand is just fried ones, I want fried rice with mixed veggies or garlic rice.
