Mixed rice typically refers to a blend of different types of rice, combining varieties such as white rice, brown rice, wild rice, or specialty rice like jasmine or basmati. The combination of different rice types brings together their unique flavors, textures, and nutritional profiles. Mixed rice can be cooked together or prepared separately and then mixed together for a colorful and flavorful dish. It offers a delightful medley of tastes and textures, ranging from fluffy and tender to nutty and chewy. Mixed rice can be served as a side dish, base for stir-fries, or used in various rice-based recipes like pilafs or rice salads.
