FYI:
Before placing the miracle rice in my expensive pot of jambalaya and of course, after cleaning the rice I just tried tasting it plain by itself just to see how it would taste and to get a feel for the texture.
Of course, it had no taste, but what was surprising was the texture. The texture is good which I know that's what most are concerned about. There is no fishy smell once you follow the cleaning/rinse/blanch & dry directions. There wasn't a strong fishy smell to begin with, but I like fish so I guess I'm a lil' bias on that one...you'll have to see for yourself.
When I tasted my jambalaya it wasn't all these wonderful taste and then a yuckie rubber rice taste messin' up the whole dish.
The rice actually blended in with the rest of the dish and took on the flavor of the dish. So there was no rubber texture that stood out. Just looked and taste like rice to me.
So of course, you'll have to test for yourself since we know everybody has individual taste.
I'll be doing more dishes with the rice. I want to do it more as a stand alone dish with just very few veggies in it if any at all. I want to see how it stands on it's own as a side dish with just butter, salt and pepper and I want to do a stir-fry with it too.
So, lots of fun to be had testing different rice dishes. I'll let you know how that goes too once I finish all this jambalaya.
