Rice Vs Noodles

I've used the search function and I cannot find an answer to thy question. As an anglo male I prefer rice, mainly because I prefer it to the texture of noodles. However I encourage ILX to try and convince me!

i really enjoy a good, broad rice noodle.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 15 April 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

It depends on what the kind of rice and what the noodles are and whether I'm in the mood for either. Otherwise I can't choose.

Just noodles? Or are we talking pasta in general? I remember a bit of eh, tension on the Lasagne/Shepherds Pie thread when someone lumped all pasta together under the noodles. It made me sick to the stomach. SICK.

rice is life!!!!

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 24 February 2006 02:35 (twenty years ago)

go rice owls!!

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 24 February 2006 02:36 (twenty years ago)

ah, but here's something:
cheese and rice - I tend not to think cheese can go on rice, yet it can go on pasta (noodles). And it can go on the more pasta-like of rice noodles. So lately I've been making things that usually go on pasta, but putting them on top of rice (b/c I ran out of rice pasta), and then putting on paramesan cheese. It's good! But still feels a bit wrong. Food is a funny thing.

what about COUSCOUS?? (which i've still never had)

― oops (Oops), Friday, 24 February 2006 02:43 (twenty years ago)

couscous is good.

― the bitchy guy in the pince-nez from the old films (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 24 February 2006 02:45 (twenty years ago)

couscous is pasta, so it falls in the "noodles" camp.

― the bitchy guy in the pince-nez from the old films (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 24 February 2006 02:49 (twenty years ago)

you imperialist!

― oops (Oops), Friday, 24 February 2006 02:54 (twenty years ago)

The only time I eat noodles is when I have become tired of eating rice.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:03 (twenty years ago)

handshaven noodles. mmmm yum.

― lyra (lyra), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:08 (twenty years ago)

If beans, then rice. If not-beans, then noodles.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:10 (twenty years ago)

There was mention of ORZO to me the other day. Which is also pasta masquerading as rice, as far as I can tell.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:17 (twenty years ago)

all pales in the face of potatos masquerading as pasta ie gnocchi

― oops (Oops), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:19 (twenty years ago)

Man, I shoulda remembered potatoes, considering I just ate a bunch of them.

If beans, then rice. If broccoli, then potatoes. If neither beans nor potatoes, then noodes.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:21 (twenty years ago)

haha - "Knowledge Nation"

Rice makes way better pudding than noodles, I know that much.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:34 (twenty years ago)

yes but it's hard to slurp rice.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:36 (twenty years ago)

but not rice noodles!
this is what i mean about the one-ness of rice.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:38 (twenty years ago)

> Rice makes way better pudding than noodles, I know that much.

I KNOW you didn't just say that about my mama's kugel!

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:39 (twenty years ago)

omg, kugel is made of noodles! Crazy, but I have never knowingly had kugel.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:42 (twenty years ago)

noodle kugel is made of noodles. potato kugel is... not!

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:45 (twenty years ago)

oh damn rice noodles duh. so then there's no battle cause Rice CONTAINS noodles! I think we need another diagram.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:47 (twenty years ago)

but wait Noodles as a category also CONTAINS rice! i think i need to lie down.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:48 (twenty years ago)

one grain to rule them all.
(haha, sorry. so. very. sorry.)

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:49 (twenty years ago)

how can you unknowingly eat kugel?

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:50 (twenty years ago)

Didn't say 'eat.' Said 'had.'

Oh, gross.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:51 (twenty years ago)

what? how can the Noodles category contain rice? someone is wrong.
xpost

maybe i ate kugel and didn't know what it was called? you know, at someone's house or a party, something. it's possible.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 24 February 2006 03:53 (twenty years ago)

iow "rice" is a type of noodle. Noodle can bend Rice to its will.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 24 February 2006 04:00 (twenty years ago)

cheese goes nice on top of risotto

― mmm cheese (fandango), Friday, 24 February 2006 21:18 (twenty years ago)

risotto is rice masquerading as pasta masquerading as rice. It's a seriously complex food.

Sure, speak of me in the passive tense.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 February 2006 23:37 (twenty years ago)

hahahaha.
The other day, I was chatting with jaymc and he was about to eat some orzo, and I asked, "is that cheese?" and he enlightened me. "No, it's like pasta!" he said (enthusiastic exclamation probably mine). Now I'm dropping ORZO left and right it has changed my life.
OKAY?

i had risotto for dinner!

― the bitchy guy in the pince-nez from the old films (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 25 February 2006 01:17 (twenty years ago)

Did you make it or did you eat at a restaurant? Because I hear it's difficult to get right. I really need to try it at an Italian restaurant, I think, soon, esp now, what with all this rice/pasta talk.

(I had rice pasta for dinner! with parm cheese on it!)

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Saturday, 25 February 2006 01:21 (twenty years ago)

Risotto is super easy to make! I think it's a big myth by restaurants to say that it's hard to cook. It's not.

― lyra (lyra), Saturday, 25 February 2006 03:23 (twenty years ago)

i ate it at a restaurant, but i've made it before and it came out really well.

― the bitchy guy in the pince-nez from the old films (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 25 February 2006 03:36 (twenty years ago)

nah, it's not hard to make... you just have to keep an eye on it.

it would rule if this post were about rice, rather than risotto

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 25 February 2006 08:10 (twenty years ago)

you know, i've always grown up with a rice cooker. and i had no idea that people out there made rice by using a pot of boiling water. i suggest you all go out and get one. like this hello kitty rice cooker:

Because I hear it's difficult to get right.

It's kinda hard to get wrong if you follow a very straightforward recipe, really. You just keep adding stock and stirring till it's ready. Vwala!

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 25 February 2006 19:57 (twenty years ago)

I am going to try it! I'm very good at following recipes. Kitchen Science!

Rice cookers: I have wanted one for SO LONG. But I've since perfected the pot method. And I really only eat brown basmati rice, which is perhaps better done in a pot (?)

I'm making CORNBREAD (in muffin shape) right now! The house smells like AWESOME. And I'm going to make blueberry sauce for them.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Saturday, 25 February 2006 20:20 (twenty years ago)

Mmmm cornbread muffins.
I just got back from the grocery store with arboro rice, but I neglected to pick up some stock. ack!

five years pass...

Is it possible for regular long grain white rice to be so shitty that it's impossible to cook well? I have all this Mormon cannery food storage rice c/o my mom – Mormons are not well known for their discriminating palates. I keep fucking up my rice (stovetop or rice cooker – in fact I got the rice cooker to see if I could curb this problem). It either turns out gloppy or crunchy in the middle or both. Yuck! I have 2 ideas about this:

1. The Mormon rice is too shitty to cook well (ego-saving hypothesis – counter-evidence is that I can cook basmati & short grain sticky rice just fine)
2. I have lost my rice mojo, shit!

― free inappropriate education (Abbbottt), Tuesday, 21 June 2011 00:19 (fourteen years ago)

probably shitty rice! I have seen some shitty rice in my life time
