New CRC Blog- Food Therapy in Rice

By Julie Cader

Julie is Finance & Administration Manager for the California Rice Commission, and a big proponent of trying new recipes- especially if they feature California rice.

During a recent damp, windy and chilly evening, I felt the strong desire for some serious food therapy. We found ourselves at the Red Lantern Room located in Lincoln's Thunder Valley Casino Resort.


We were warmly greeted by the Red Lantern's Manager, Jimmy Yee, who commented that the restaurant uses California rice in crafting their authentic Asian dishes.


I tried the Queen Clam Congee, a thick porridge of California rice that is boiled in many times its weight of water for a long period of time until the rice breaks down and becomes a fairly thick, white porridge, or as I call it, serious food therapy. A delicious way to end a stormy day!
