Sesame seed and coconut aminos

>>14298192
Hardly anyone (particularly non-Asians) eats white rice by itself. Anyone who does that must be too poor to afford the luxury of condiments or accompaniments.

>>14298192
i dont even add salt to mine since theres always a sauce from the dish that goes with it like with a stir fry or curry.

>>14298192
Chicken livers- dirty rice gang

>>14298192
Fry some chopped angel hair noodles until brown and mix them with the rice before adding the water. You can also add a piece of onion or garlic to the cooking, just remove it when done.

>>14298192
Furikake if you're classy
Soy sauce and sesame seeds if you're not.
Also Sriacha, either way.

>>14298192
It is never served just as is. As a kid I liked it with butter and salt, or with the pan juice from the chicken we would be serving with it. The least I do now is add a fried egg and a little soy sauce. You can also use furikake, which comes in a variety of styles. When dieting I have been known to eat white rice with little snack size nori sheets, makes it easier to pick up lots of rice at a time with chop sticks. Leftover white rice is stored in a paper box in the fridge to be used for fried rice, kimchi and spam fried rice are the major family favorites.

Typically this. It is the layer you place your curry, stir fry, or other such goodies atop. I also make a lot of sushi at home for the senpai (handy skill in time of covid) and also make onigiri, spam musubi, etc.

Ok, I have only ever had dirty rice from the box made with mince. Can you tell me what the recipe is for the best dirty rice you ever had?

>>14298192
let it cook until it becomes crunchy, idk the word for it

>>14298457
god my dad would make this shit every day, i can’t it it anymore

butter and salt

>>14298192
Eat it with something really salty and heavily seasoned like curry or gumbo or something and garnish with scallions or chives or cilantro or something

>>14298549
I just used Emeril's dirty rice and Creole dirty rice recipes and mixed and matched. Basically brown some ground meat (beef, pork, turkey, whatever) in some butter/oil, take it out, brown some livers and take them out and chop them (he says to puree them but whatever), then saute your veg in the pan (onion, celery, garlic, bell pepper), season and add everything back with some stock/broth, boil for 5 min or so, mix in some cooked rice and that's that.

Usually butter and lemon juice
Or garlic and pepper
Sometimes chorizo oil when I have some

I make mine with stock instead of water and salt and pepper to taste and msg.

Anything but raw eggs, dirty weebs need not reply

>>14298192
I like to add either sour or salty pickled veggies and something crunchy like fried tempeh or pic related.

>>14298444

Fucking weeaboos.

>>14298192
Mash it with butter and salt. Better than mashed potato.

Soy sauce

>>14298192
soft boiled egg marinated in mix of low sodium soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chilli flakes. Basically the kind of egg that comes in ramen

Having bought a decent rice cooker just plain white rice with salt and butter is unbelievably delicious, nutty, and flavourful.

>>14298192
Depends on the dish I am eating the rice with. IT varies from soy sauce/fish sauce to something as simple as msg

I use a can on coconut milk, use that same can to measure out an equal amount of water. Dry the can and add that amount of rice. Salt, white pepper, not much. Slice a lime in half, squeeze in the juice, set the rind in the middle, cover and bring to a boil. Once it boils for a few solid seconds, I drop to a simmer and leave it alone for a while until it puffs up. Uncover and fluff with a fork or small spatula and fold in fresh chopped cilantro sprigs (or parsley leaves). Great every time.

Add a broth cube and a bay leaf while cooking.

You have to be pretty goddamn destitute to not be able to afford eggs and some soy sauce.

Why are you eating rice by itself? It's meant to be the base for the main entree

>>14298908

Based. Japs and chinks will claim it's wrong because the moistened rice doesn't stick together and thus can't be eaten with sticks. Well based whitey is here from the future with advanced SPOON technology, yellow niggas! (They can put a Nintendo in a wristwatch but they can't into utensils baka.)

Soy and oyster sauce work perfect for me, with some eggs, meat and onion.

What is it with these contrarian retards who pretend shit like plain white rice on its own as a meal or water as a drink are somehow preferable to real eating and drinking?
That's like being proud you live in an empty shack with no furniture, lights, or air conditioning.

>>14298192
I don't ever make rice as main dish and then decide what I should flavour it with. It's usually me cooking up a fry, curry or stew and serving white rice on the side.

People claim that's the reason sometimes, but it isn't. The real reason is these people during times of extreme poverty in the past didn't have enough (or any) meat and had to settle for soy sauce on rice to make a poor mockery of an actual meal.
Chinese restaurants have always given you soy sauce packets with your rice orders. And tamago gohan is exactly white rice and soy sauce with egg mixed in.
Rather than rice and soy sauce being some crazy Westerner thing that Asians are baffled by (despite what they pretend), it's instead something Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asians merely avoid because of poverty connotations. Pic related shows a couple such comments, one from Malaysia and the other from China.
Also have this link to an almanac covering the topic of Guangzhou cuisine where it explicitly mentions rice with soy sauce as not only something eaten by Chinese but something eaten as a ubiquitous staple meal by the poor, which further corroborates what those other two comments were getting at.

>Food is almost unthinkable without soy sauce. Rice by itself is not a meal, but rice with soy sauce is, and for the poor in earlier times it was, often the only meal of the day.

>soy sauce
Eggs, rice, sweet soy sauce, and lajiao or Sriracha or any hot sauce is pretty kino in a pinch.
