Mmmmmmm.

That's just to remind me.

Uh-oh. I'm majestically bad with rice, unless you like it really gummy and sticky. About the only rice I make is plain white rice in a cooker and rice pudding from the leftovers. I've attempted simple fried rice, but it usually ends up a mess.

I'll try something, though. Maybe I'll just throw it in some soup and call it a day.

 

[Windigo]

That will give me some options. I'll be back

A European guy walked into the Fat Lady's restaurant at the weekend and ordered "Khow Padt Noo" for carry oot.

My wife was there and corrected him. I think you want "Khow Padt Moo" which is pork fried rice.

"Khow Padt Noo" is rat fried rice!

Easy mistake to make.

"Khow Padt Noo" will not be an entry of mine in the challenge.

Plain white rice in a cooker and rice pudding from leftovers (delicious!) would be good anyway if you’ll be happy with them, definitely
But maybe this challenge could give you the chance to try again new recipes with rice and find out something special. I’m sure you are a fine gourmand

That would have been interesting indeed though!

Waiting to see your fab rice recipes, sweetie

(repeating what I just posted on the thread where you announced the new ingredient):

What a wonderfully versatile ingredient! Now, I have to ask. Does this also include rice-like things, such as:

• Orzo
• Farro
• Quinoa
• Couscous
• Barley

 

[Yorky]

A question/clarification. Rice noodles are a favourite around these parts. Would they be included?

Nope, same reply as above, only the cereal grain

Interesting. I'll try and take part this month. I've been meaning to cook a biryani as I've not cooked one before.

I thought of that too - a good biryani is a joy. I'll leave that one to you. I may do kedgeree or paella or something experimental.

MypinchofItaly also clarified (in the previous Challenge thread) that it's a "NO" to all of the above.

MypinchofItaly is a purist.

Does wild rice count?
