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.

  4. hard to choose only one as we all love rice alot in our family but shrimp scampi with lemon, white wine, garlic butter, herbs, served over jasmine rice is one of the top picks! Mexican rice with chillis, corn, tomatoes, cumin, chilli powder, paprika, garlic, salsa peppers, onions comes a close second!

  6. My favourite rice dish is the one that my Aunt’s friend Indra makes. I don’t know if it has a name or what it is called because we have always called it Indra’s rice. My family has only had it a few times over the years. It is the best rice we have ever had, the flavour is amazing!

  7. Rice with red kidney beans gravy and fried potatoes, holds a special place in my heart cause my fav person in the world makes it the best.

  8. My favourite rice dish is Rice Pudding. This was my mother’s recipe and every time I make this pudding I think of her and her love of cooking.

  9. My favourite rice dish is paella. I used to bring a huge pan to potlucks and it was always a hit.

    I marinate my chicken in spices in a zip lock bag, refrigerate for a few hours and bake the chicken.

  15. My favourite rice is rice made the Indian way – to eat with curry – so it has curry powder in it, turmeric, raisins, onions, and whatever else..
