Why Rice is a Good Choice in Modern Cooking

Rice has been a trendy favourite in many contemporary cuisines not just in Asia but in other parts of the world, such as Europe and North America.

Different Types of Rice

To most well-experienced, modern-day chefs and even innovative food enthusiasts, rice seems to be a well-liked addition to their food repertoire.

Rice does not only deliver practicality but promises versatility in many ways.

​You could eat rice as part of the main dish or as an extra dish.

Rice is almost often synonymous to a food with a distinctive texture and flavour. In fact, to most ethnic households, rice is considered to be a staple food; and almost always, rice is a good starting point for many interesting dishes.
​
Considering the emergence of the many ethnic influences, you will find many recipes that seemed to offer a unique fusion of many ethnic flavours today. Take, for example, cuisines introduced by Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Indian, Malaysian, Singaporean, Korean, Vietnamese and even Filipino and Spanish.

Rice Fusion

​If you try and go to specialty restaurants offering an extensive variety of customary and exotic dishes inspired by Asian and European taste, you will undoubtedly notice that they either offer rice as part of their main food menu selections, or as an option to order rice as a side dish.
​

One of the characteristics that you can observe when you cook rice is that rice holds well. And if you experiment and mix rice with other ingredients, it would blend perfectly.

Thinking of reinventing leftovers?

Rice works just as well – letting you experience the essence of modern cooking.
