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. I love making a big pot of wild rice and having enough left over to do a fried rice dish with the next day!

  2. Fried rice dish has always been a staple at home growing up and will forever hold a place in my heart!

  3. I enjoy chicken fried rice with vegetables. Reminds me of my childhood when my parents would order from the Chinese restaurant. Still tastes as good many years later.

  4. I like that it has a precise cooking time and temperature that cooks a specific rice as I always use yellow rice. The flavour stands on its’ own as it’s great as a side dish.

  5. My favourite rice dish is really a toss up between sausage and chicken jambalaya or shrimp & crabmeat gumbo with rice. I grew up in New Orleans and these two always bring that taste of home back to me.

  6. I love chicken fried rice. Whenever I visit a new city I search out the best place that serves CFR and it’s now become my trademark travel staple

  7. My favourite rice dish is my mystery fried rice. It is brown rice with whatever leftover meat I may have. Usually that’s chicken to which is added fried onions, frozen peas, scrambled eggs and yes, whatever mystery vegetables I may have left over. And gluten free soya sauce of course.

  8. Jambalaya is my favourite rice dish. It’s special to me because it’s something I like to make with my husband.

  9. It’s gotta be red beans and rice. My husband has been trying to capture a memory of that dish he tried in New Orleans 10 years ago. He’s never fully happy with it and the recipe gets tweaked every single time he makes it, but that suits me just fine – I am very happy for him to keep trying and benefitting from his efforts!

  10. I love plain basmati rice with ny dinners. I make rice pudding and fried rice with my leftover rice.
    I like the fact you can also make porridge and stews with this rice cooker, and clean up would be a breeze with the non stick inner pot.

  11. Love to make fried rice, as I throw in all left overs or uncooked pieces of chicken, beef, shrimp, pork, and lots of vegetables. Its a one pot meal, and every body in the households loves it.

  12. Rice and beans is my delish dish! I got hooked on my first trip to the Caribbean where it is a classic comfort food and staple in many Latino and Afro-Caribbean communities. Healthy, tasty and versatile since you can use a variety of rice and beans.

  13. steamed rice with dried garlic pork and soy sauce is my fav rice dish it was something my mom always made on Friday nights.

  14. I love paella because it contains a variety of flavorful ingredients, such as saffron, paprika, garlic, onions, tomatoes, and various types of seafood, poultry, or meat. The combination of these ingredients creates a harmonious blend of tastes that appeal to the palate.
