Rice is the ultimate comfort food

For many Canadians, rice connects us to our roots and cultures, carrying centuries of tradition and culinary heritage within its tiny grains. There’s something magical about the way rice effortlessly pairs with various dishes, turning them into soul-satisfying meals. It’s the perfect canvas for curries, stews, and stir-fries, soaking up the rich flavours like a sponge, and elevating every bite to a new level of aroma and delight. From festive gatherings to milestone events, rice is a constant presence, symbolizing abundance, prosperity, and the bond of shared experiences. For myself, when life gets a bit overwhelming, nothing beats a warm bowl of rice, providing a sense of familiarity and grounding in even the most chaotic of times.

However, cooking rice can be overwhelming for some people, especially when trying to achieve that perfect, fluffy texture. Cooking rice can be a bit tricky because it requires the right water-to-rice ratio, the correct cooking time, and the appropriate heat level. Additionally, different types of rice may require slightly different cooking methods. It’s not uncommon for even experienced cooks to encounter challenges with rice, leading to either undercooked, overcooked, or sticky results.

Fortunately, there are tools like rice cookers that can take away the guesswork and make the process much easier. These appliances ensure consistent results and allow you to focus on other aspects of meal preparation without worrying about the rice. Check out Christine’s review video of the JS Oryza rice cooker below and the full review article on the blog to learn more about it.

  1. Tonkatsu don is my favourite! I learned to cook tonkatsu well about fifteen years ago and have only got better at it! So delicious.

  2. 1. Mexican Rice. The first time I tried it was when I met my husband.
    2. Can steam vegetables, dumplings, or fish.

  3. My family makes a dish called orange rice. It’s special because it’s a dish grandma liked to make.

  4. Honey Garlic Fried Rice. It’s something my father used to make for us all the time growing up.

  5. Mon plat de riz préféré est le Biryani car ma mère en fait une version très délicieuse

  6. Bibimbap is my favourite rice dish especially since my wife introduced me to all sorts of rice based meals I would’ve never thought to try.

  7. Of course, it would have to be Chicken Fried Rice. My Mon loved Chinese & it had to come with Chicken Fried Rice & Toast on the side.

  8. I love Kimchi fried rice, because it is easy to make and also feels so homemade every time I have it

  9. Chicken in fried rice – it was also my mother’s favorite dish back in those farming days. Yummy

  10. I just like plain rice. Pretty elite on its own. My family makes a lot of stews and rice is a staple of all of them. I have 8 aunts and uncles, so there was always a huge pot of rice in our house. We always fed around 20 people every weekend, but we never had a rice cooker, which makes a lot more sense.

  11. I absolutely love chopped onion from my garden mixed into rice with any sauce, and sometimes a meat or substitute added in. I’m terrible at making rice! 🙁

  12. Just the rice, please – unadulterated by frying or stock. Underneath or beside other foods is good.

  13. My father is from a Ukrainian background so I love Cabbage Rolls as he has always served them

  14. I love Kimchi fried rice, because it is easy to make and also feels so homemade every time I have it

  15. My Dad’s homemade chicken rice soup is so simple but so good and my Dad always put care in preparing it. Putting the the juice of the chicken and lots of generous amounts of chicken and lemon. It’s amazing the way the rice is cooked and all the flavors from the juices of the chicken and lemon and of course the chicken pieces along with some oregano and basil with some salt and pepper to top it off.

  16. I like chicken rice bowl as it’s something simple and easy to make. It’s one of the health meals I can make since my muscle disorder got worse.

  17. Chicken fried rice dish because I love the way it tastes and have been eating it as a little kid.
