Rice

Rice are seeds or grains taken from asian cereal grass or annual marsh grass called Oryza sativa and is usually cultivated in warm climates and used as a food/meal along with a meat or veggies on it. It may either classified as white or brown grains and a staple food especially here in the Philippines for quite some time. We usually eat this 3x a day, and been part of the culture and way of life.

Rice in medical terms is rest, ice,compression or elevation while we can call it either corn, rye, bran, oats.

Here in the Philippines, we have a few rice recipes such as:

1. Sinangag or fried rice in english, others made their own version like garlic rice, java rice. I know this is already known not just in asian but also in western countries and many are already cooking this as well.
   
   2.Lugaw is a type of congee or porridge with innards of either pig or cow. We also have the Arroz caldo dish which is a popular comfort food here; a chicken and rice porridge flavored ginger, garlic, onion and fish sauce.
   

2. Champorado or chocolate porridge is another type of comfort food here in which you just need to boil an amount of rice of youre choice then by just simply adding a cocoa powder on it gives you this most delicious champorado. Some uses a malagkit or glutinous rice because its much thicker and tastier than an ordinary rice. You can even put a milk on top of it and sugar of course if youre milk is not condensed.
   

4.Bibingka is a type of rice cake originated in Philippines and Indonesia. Ingredients are rice, flour, water, coconut milk. This is a traditional Philippine christmas foods along with other kinds of rice cakes which liked by filipinos as breakfast meals or snacks.

5.Biko is a filipino rice cake from a glutinous white rice known as stick rice or sweet rice cooked with a coconut milk and baked with grated coconut as toppings.
