Many Asians eat rice
three times a day. In some languages, such as Thai and Lao, the phrase
for eating rice is synonymous with "eating food "— showing the importance of
rice as staple food to these people.
From delicate translucent noodles to delightful sushi to exquisite desserts,
rice is a surprisingly versatile—and nutritious—food. (It’s not too fattening,
either!) So help yourself and make a meal of it—or a feast. Explore
the world of rice through your taste buds. You won’t be disappointed.
