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. My favourite rice dish is my mom’s Puffy Tuna Rice Casserole. It holds a special place in my heart because it brings back good family memories.

  2. I didn’t grow up eating much rice but now I absolutely love it. My fav right now is crispy tofu rice bowl. So good

  3. I like the feature that precise the temperature and cooking time adjusts for various rice types. Other than long grain rice, I struggle with cooking all the other tasty types.

  4. My favourite rice is a simple lemon rice made using basmati rice, non dairy butter and fresh lemon juice. Sometimes I add fresh cilantro to it.

  5. I love making coconut rice for Thai dishes! The “set and forget”/preset time feature is crucial so I can soak the rice for a while and have it start automatically while I’m prepping the rest of the meal.

  6. Chicken fried rice with veggies is my favorite,I usually serve this with stirfry veggies.

  7. We love to make chicken fried rice. My son wants me to make it on his birthday every year. Very special memories

  8. My goto breakfast dish which is also a favourite meal, is eggs and rich with onion and tomatoe. So delicious with just salt and pepper. Nice fluffy rice is cooked in the machine and then put in the fry pan and then eggs. Soooo good.

  9. Yin Yang Fried Rice.
    As a kid, I loved to eat sweets, so that dish had a sweeter tomato based sauce on one side, that I would always eat first.

  10. Rice with orzo pasta -garlic and chicken broth. In a lidded frying pan. Love it as only one I can consistently make. I suck at making rice which is why I need this!

  11. My favourite is chicken fried rice since my grandma would make it for me when I was growing up!

  12. My favourite rice dish is pork fried rice because my dad used to make it for me when I was a kid and it was sooooooo good!

  13. My favourite rice dish is sushi. Simple and easy to make at home using tuna and thinly sliced avocado or cucumber.

  14. We have always loved a stir fry with white rice and cooking rice in a rice cooker works so well and is the best way we have found to get really good Japanese styled rice.
