The CookingBites Recipe Challenge: Rice

[caseydog]

Rice is a staple of Cajun and TexMex food. Plus, it is a major crop along the Southeast Texas Gulf Coast.

There is even a Rice Festival... Texas Rice Festival | Annual Festival located in Winnie, Texas

I should be able to come up with something. I already have a few pounds of Texas rice in the pantry.

I have a few rice recipes floating around. And since I am going to be making a biryani for another purpose, I'll include that as well.

Will scratch my noodle to see what else I might come up with.

I have a biryani one ready to go too, but I won't enter it this time. Also a nasi goreng... but might try something different (that I haven't made before) for this one.

Trying something different, that’s the spirit!

I have three things in mind, which means I'll likely get to one.

Black Japonica rice with cabbage, endive, and optional farmers' (or soft) cheese.

I will be making a chicken, wild rice, mushroom and ramps casserole this weekend.

I also have an old recipe for Japanese rice sandwiches I want to share (Onigirazau),

AND just make for breakfast - oyakodon, a Japanese breakfast consisting of chicken, egg, flavors, over a bed of sushi rice.

Great choice.
For many decades (generations) rice farming has been a major industry in Louisiana. Growing up we had rice with lunch and dinner every day.
I have gotten away from rice on a regular basis. It is a special treat. I will post a traditional Cajun recipe for Rice Dressing (Dirty Rice) and a variation using oysters.

I am going to see if I can perfect my Arroz Con Pollo this weekend and actually write the recipe down which is something I never do. I take the classic Arroz and turn it green. Are there rules? How many photos do you want? Does anyone actually make all the recipes to decide the winner? What are the categories a dish is judged on? Is this too many questions?
