For me rice is like one my main source of food. Without it, the food isnt just that great. Sometimes the side dishes are too salty and it needs some bland taste to it. Bad side to it is that it has a lot of carbs and i was wondering if its healthy? I guess I just grew up with cuz well.. Im asian!

@hanxyoung I was just about to post a question about what Asians eat? I love chinese food and everytime I go to my chinese restaurant I always notice their eating white rice but with other things. I always want to ask but their eating and Im not rude. But my friend told me a Asian man told her they dont eat cheese, because cheese is really not good for you and its spoiled milk. Is that true? And white rice is good for you by the way! What do Asians eat mostly besides white rice?

Well fist off I'm pretty sure Asian people can and will eat cheese, it's just not usually incorporated into their dishes. I don't think I can think of any chinese food that is made with cheese... Anyways chinese people also eat eat a variety of vegetables, meats, and fish. Vegetables include bak choi, bitter melon, chinese broccoli, eggplant, snow pea shoots, chinese cabbage, lotus root, etc. They also have a lot of different types of meat dishes including chicken, duck, pork, and beef. Fish is also pretty common and is served as a whole. The way my mom makes it is she steams the fish, puts soy sauce and chives over it, then pours hot oil over it which gives it a really good smell. This goes great with rice! :D

I Love rice though I am not an Asian. I love rice salads and different types of rice recipes. Though my staple food is pasta. I love tortellini spaghetti and pizzas.

I love all kinds of rice! Rice goes with everything (just about anyway) - curries, meats, veggies . . . I can live off of rice! I am Asian too (from the US) - but I enjoy different rice, not just Jasmine or Japanese, but also Basmati, plain ol' long grain, or even wild rice (which isn't really a rice). And international rice dishes are great too - like lubia polo (Persian/Iranian green bean dish), Spanish rice, Afghani spicy rice . . . there's a lot out there!! I am considered to be pre-diabetic, so I have to watch out eating too much rice . . . brown rice is better for you, but even so you shouldn't over eat it. But dang, rice is just too good to pass up - hee hee!
