As an Asian this whole thread feels so weird and I can’t tell if people actually eat rice with ketchup or they are tricking me into trying an abomination

French here. I admit I used to eat rice with ketchup when I was a kid. I’m disgusted with myself thinking about it now.
jacktherippah@lemmy.world 1 year ago
you WHAT?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I used to eat ketchup sandwiches when I was a kid. Just ketchup between two pieces of bread.
I also liked yogurt and cottage cheese mixed together.
Kids are weird.
PeroBasta@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You frenchies do some nasty shit sometimes. Very high cuisine but the day to day sometimes is weird (I have some colleagues that told me this)

Mayonnaise
iheartneopets@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Japanese comfort food frequently calls for either ketchup or Japanese mayo in/on rice. Omurice being a prime example.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean it’s more like childrens’ food so abomination is a bit of an exaggeration but it’s certainly nothing interesting. It’s rice with ketchup.
stardreamer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Why can’t y’all just make normal children’s food like chicken curry with rice? Stop putting so much sugar and corn syrup in everything.
If this continues we’ll have to retaliate: see how certain East Asian countries make pizzas and burgers and see how you like it! (PS: it was flatbread with corn and ham as the only toppings)
hydrospanner@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I wouldn’t say it’s common, but I also wouldn’t say it’s unheard of…and I would never put it past Americans to try an odd condiment application.
Honestly though, when you look at the ingredients, it’s not too drastically far off from the ingredients of a sauce you might specifically put together as part of a more traditional rice dish: tomatoes, vinegar, onion, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin… bit heavy on the sugar but a lot of sauces in Asian cooking are even sweeter.
I agree it seems repulsive on the surface to me too, but now that I’ve been thinking about it…I kinda wanna try it.

Soy sauce

This is the only way tbh
loutr@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Fish sauce and butter is nice too.
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
But like, with a bit of mayonnaise, right?

If you’re asking who’d put rice with ketchup - my sister used to put ketchup on her popcorn. Microwave popcorn. Pre-buttered.

Remove butter, put EVO, remove parmisan, put Parmigiano Reggiano, you have a masterpiece
Fluba@lemdro.id 1 year ago
I tried searching for EVO but just came up with a pan/bowl type. Could you tell an uninformed fool (me) what is EVO?
supernicepojo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Agree, I dont have reliable access to EVOO or good parmigiana. If I had my way all the time it would be thyme and lavender and oregano infused olive oil with cucumbers as well as a three way mixed Parmigiana, Asiago, Oaxaca or dried mozarella.

Mayonnaise.
heatiskillingme@kbin.social 1 year ago
Excellent! I thought I was the only deranged person who loves freshly cooked rice with some mayo. I've noticed a lot of people really look down on mayonnaise for some reason, when all it is, is some egg and oil, salt optional but great IMO, and some lemon juice to complement, also optional. I feel that just goes really well with a starch like rice!
ivanafterall@kbin.social 1 year ago
I don't want to entirely pull the rug out from under you, but you may still be the only person who loves that. I was making what I intended to be an obviously disgusting joke. I'm sorry. :P
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Who the hell puts ketchup in rice??
Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Stuffed bell peppers you can probably substitute the tomato sauce with ketchup, idk if it would be any good, but you could I guess.
dlhextall@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Kids. I remember doing this when I was 8-10.

squiblet@kbin.social 1 year ago
Ketchup would be one of my last choices anyway. Maybe with certain mains like fried chicken or chicken fried steak (ok, some people say that's weird but it's what we did at Furr's Cafeteria).
Right now, probably Marie Sharp's Beware Habanero sauce. Second choice, chimichurri.
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Those bottles of chili crisp with the face of an angry/disappointed looking Asian lady on the label. So good.

So good! Ty their other sauces as well. I think there’s four or five available in the US.MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Which one should I try? I think there is this one with beans in it, right?

Americans. They would even eat old car tires with ketchup.
mondo_brondo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve never heard of anyone eating rice with ketchup before.

Ketchup rice is a Japanese dish. www.chopstickchronicles.com/ketchup-rice/#recipe

Lol, we really don’t do this. But it’s fun to fuck with people.
Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Nah dude. Just a little bit of soy or tonkatsu sauce.
sock@lemmy.world 1 year ago
more like people in America sometimes eat it. just like how people everywhere sometimes do everything and stupid nationalism only divides everybody more.
Jaysyn@kbin.social 1 year ago
I've never seen a fellow citizen that was older than 9 eat rice w/ ketchup.
It's butter, salt & black pepper in the southern USA, at least.

Only all-season radials.
We got standards, you know.
tacosplease@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Haha I don’t know many American adults who eat ketchup on more than a few foods. Maybe burgers, maybe hot dogs, probably french fries. Most of us hate how it smells too.

Have you never tried it? It’s quite good, though I haven’t done it since I was a child.
tacosplease@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As a kid I used to eat ketchup on baked potatoes. Probably not bad, but it still grosses me out to think about it.
Ranch dressing was another good one for baked potatoes. I’m not interested in that now either, but ranch feels much more respectable than ketchup.
