Talk to me about rice- the magic of it, the wholeness of it, the surprising sweetness that blooms on your tongue in a slow, lingering mouthful, the flavors that vary between different grains. Talk to me about congee and biryani and onigiri and fan tuan and zhong zi and the crisped scrapings from the bottom of the pot that you can eat with peanut sugar or pour tea over to loosen the grains. Talk to me about mochi and guo ba and the addictive nature of rice crackers. Talk to me about rice.

Rice! <3 Right at the top of my list of comfort foods - whether it's pea and mushroom risotto cooked for me by my dad, the supermarket basic range that nonetheless tastes fantastic if I cook it right and add the right ingredients, sweet sticky balls of rice to mix in with Thai curry at my local restaurant, or egg fried rice from the takeaway down the road. NOM.
