Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.
RIP Mitch hedberg
It’s one of the few foods I can fully indulge. I want to eat two thousand of everything.
Y’all need more glutinous rice based cakes in your life!
Tteobokki is easily accessible as it’s Korean and trendy. But it’s just the beginning of that delicious side of rice!
In China they had delicious variations. Salty and sweet alike. 粢饭糕 (zifangao) were a bit big. Fishstick sized. Deep fried. I usually had them as a dessert but the rice itself is neutral so it would work salty as well no doubt. Main thing is to eat it while it’s hot, with a crunchy outside and the inside almost creamy.
But my favourite were the sliced nian gao. Imagine a roll of soft rice dough, ovalish in shape section. Cut in slices and those you can either fry or eat En sauce, like gnocchi really. Fantastic stuff!
Dammit I wish those were more accessible in Europe T_T
Tteobokki will have to do I guess.
For medium sized rice, consider mochi or tteokbokki.
Isn’t Mochi just small rice that’s been physically abused until it becomes sticky and squishy?
Uwu
So get this
We have Long Grain Rice like the Australian Doongara variety and Indian Basmati variety, Medium Grain, and we also have Short Grain Rice some varieties of which are quite wide, such as Bomba Rice.
I think Bomba’s probably what you’d be interested in.
Rice with the husk on seems larger and has more nutrients to carbs ratio but it’s not very tasty. Probably the largest overall grain is called “Tilda Giant Wild Rice”.
If rice becomes large enough to eat by ones and twos, will we start calling a single grain a rouse?
Can’t wait for my mashed rice
mochi is pretty popular
Not for dinner though.
That’s called ttoekbokki.
Or bánh if you’re in Vietnam.
Yes… I’ve certainly never had mochi for dinner, that would be silly of me 😰 .
You can mash potatoes with a ricer
But can you mash rice with a potatoer?
That parable about the emperor asking for double the number of grains on each successive square of a chess board would be fucked of rice grains were that big.
Welcome to the Hydraulic Press Channel
“Holy sheet!”
So that’s why it’s called a potato ricer.
We would need a couple centuries to figure out how to cook it.
I mean what do you even do? Boil em? Mash em? Put them in stews?
Nah just skip the drying process after you harvest it and sell it fresh.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
