it'll probably smell better with other items, but I also don't mind eating it plain or with some soy sauce. I'm also looking up fried rice recipes because I do want to eat healthier and when the rice is rinsed it's actually not super starchy (helps that I'm using parboiled)

I'll also note that I might just not like the smell of steamed rice because our tap water here smells fucking nasty and I used tap water to rinse the rise, even if I used filtered water to cook it. The water isn't dangerous, it's just certain minerals in there that to me make it smell like shrimp and water should not smell like that

rice* not rise
