Literally the base of every single meal I eat. Add canned chicken, Rotel, and Valentina hot sauce and you have a Mexican meal. Do tuna, kimchi, and sriracha and you have a Southeast Asian meal.
Both options are a million times better if you already have a spice stash handy. If not, you can buy those premade seasoning packets on Amazon in something like taco or chow mein flavor or something.
Buy better rice. I can't stress this enough. You can seriously taste the difference.
Just try a small bag of premium koshihikari from Amazon or a Japanese grocery store.
Multiple rinses until the water runs clear.

I find Nishiki rice (https://www.amazon.com/Nishiki-Premium-Sushi-Rice-LB/dp/B0001DMT1E) to be really good for a variety of uses. It's super starchy, so you have to wash it a bunch for the water to run clear, but if you want starchy rice, it's excellent.
I used a medium grain Nishiki rice with Red Star premier rouge
So I know using a sweet/sticky rice rice would probably make a huge difference, but I am still so surprised at the complete lack of flavor produced here. I was even afraid for a moment that I might of gotten covid lol
I’m really sorry that that all happened. First, you should be eligible for SNAP, Cash assistance (?), and emergency assistance (I think) if you’re in America. That hospital thing sounds incredibly shady, so the other commenter’s suggestion of asking legaladvice is a good one. Look into food pantries in the area as well, look into doing odd jobs, stuff like Neevo.ai, Prolific.co and other r/beermoney sites to get side money for food and licenses. See if there’s any apps that are worth more in gain than cost. Rideshare apps and food delivery apps are less gain (Especially with rising gas prices!), all they do is give you “stable income” to report when apartment searching. Things like Wag and babysitting services are higher paying, but more physically taxing. You’re being proactive, keep being proactive. Apply directly through company sites. Also, do you have renters insurance? The caved in ceiling also most likely goes against your lease, so if you need to fight, fight.
For food, get yourself some bread, peanut butter, baby carrots, spinach, rice, teriyaki sauce, and butter (If you know any places you can get free butter at, cut that cost... Cafeterias/cafes). Various spices if you have them already or you can get them anywhere like paprika and ginger. Keep taking your vitamins, but that banana powder combo sounds miserable.

Nah, fuck whole foods. That shits expensive. If you can hold out for a few days heres 5 pounds of rice for $5.49 and 4 pounds of black beans for $6.36
>Glutinous rice, also called sticky rice
Also called sweet rice. This is what I buy, based on what my late sister-in-law, Thai, bought.
I use a big mortar as a pot for water and steam in a bamboo cone with a lid from from another pot.
In addition to sweet desserts, sticky rice is used as an appetizer (rolled into little footballs and dipped) and as a foundation for thick stews.
if you want restaurant quality.. this is what some of them use amazon link

I've used their Rice, Pasta, and Spaghetti, and it works pretty well. I have to drain it, then pan-fry it a few minutes to both warm it up and get some of the extra moisture out, but once I've done that, it works well in place of pasta in most places. Also works great for stuffed peppers.
That's a life skills thing.
Let's say you have $20 for the entire week.... well... $6.73 buys you 5 lbs of rice https://www.amazon.com/Nishiki-Medium-Grain-Rice-Pound/dp/B00852ZN2U/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=rice&qid=1636504881&sr=8-2
That will last you like two weeks. In that time you can get other ingredients and make it even better. It doesn't take long to make. 10-20 minutes and boom done. In the time you're standing in line at Walmart I already have a meal ready.
This is 100% how you are raised. If you've never been taught how to eat cheaply you'll always waste your money cause you don't know any better. We should be teaching people how to cook cheap and easy meals.
Yeah, but Arkansas grows mostly long grain rice, California grows Calrose, Shirakiku, Koshihikari, etc. An example is below.
Shirakiku Rice, Koshihikari, 15 Pound https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0093ZTUEA
> Also factor in food deserts. .... If you have no transportation, all your benefits will be ate up quick.
Actually I have factored that in. If you are paying $15/week for rice then stop shopping there. It only took me 30 seconds to find rice for $8.56/week online. Food deserts and transportation don't really matter when it can be delivered to your front door for free.
Your local Fred Meyer has rice for $8.64/week. Possibly less. I only checked the 1st page of results.
Have in the past, but not this time. I used a medium grain rice and the texture more closely mimicked that of the fried rice I get at restaurants.

If you like this recipe I recommend checking this vídeo out, it’s where I got the idea from.
And for the rice I use this brand. It’s really pricey but I really like it, hence why i get 15 pounds. From what I understand is legit good quality Japanese rice. But I’d be open on hearing cheaper alternatives.

You sound like you know about sushi. I've never made it and I wanted to try it. Do you have favorite brand and a recipe for the rice vinegar and stuff. By nashiki you mean nishiki right? because that's the only stuff I can find on amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Nishiki-Premium-Sushi-Rice-LB/dp/B0001DMT1E?th=1)
Amazon has the Tamaki Gold.
https://www.amazon.com/Tamaki-Gold-Signature-California-Koshihikari/dp/B003HGKO78
Toiro sells Koshihikari from Niigata. I don’t if she will ship internationally, but send her an email through her business contact. She will definitely respond to email inquiries. I’ve made several purchases through her store, and I have had a few inquiries about tea canisters. She will definitely respond to emails.
I can certainly relate to the idea that if there is rice there is a meal. When I was a teenager I did most of the cooking for my family. A couple of times I was lazy and didn’t make rice for dinner. My brothers would sit at the table and first thing ask, “Where’s the rice?”
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00852ZN2U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This isn't horrible for 5 pounds of rice
And yeah, looks like tuna is OOS again (but it comes back quickly, I am blaming the two tropical storms heading to TX and LA for this sudden outtage)
In some other countries they're called as Rice flakes. I did not mean rice cakes at all ... :)
You could get them in Indian Grocery store or you could always get from Amazon
I am not affiliated with Amazon. I am just posting the link so that its useful to you.
