This is the recipe for my grandma's rice. Being Hispanic, this is about as Mexican as you can get. Good as a side dish, or in a taco with ground beef.

Plain rice made special with shredded carrots and chicken bouillon. Use beef bouillon if you prefer. Or, add sunflower seeds for a nutty crunch.

Onigiri are Japanese rice balls. They're fun to make and are a staple of Japanese lunchboxes (bento).

Fragrant, flavorful, and a staple side dish in Cuban cuisine, yellow rice takes its color from annatto, a natural coloring made from the seeds of a small Central American shrub. Add peas and garnish with pimento slices for authentic Caribbean style.

White rice is the main side dish made in Brazil. This is the way my mom would make it and taught my sister and I. What makes this so different is that we fry it in oil with minced onion and garlic before adding water. You can also use part water, part chicken broth. The secret is to not let it overcook because it should come out loose and not sticky.

This is very easy recipe, with basmati rice and green peas. It is very mild and fragrant, and great as a side dish, or for those picky kids who don't like their peas. The word 'matar' means green peas in Urdu.

South African Yellow Rice

Submitted by: DEONI 
This is a traditional South African recipe, which comes from the great culinary tradition of the Cape Malays -- originally brought in as slaves in the 17th century. It's easy and plain, but great with meats like venison, corned beef tongue or any meat with gravy. Also usually served with Bobotie: There is a good recipe by Caryn on this site.
