Rice recipes with chili

Blue rice with chili
Have you heard of blue rice?
It is natural blue, no artificial
dye is used. Just the color
presentation is enough to lure
you to it, what more with

Noodles play a prominent role in many Chinese and Asian cuisines. Spaghetti, the Italian version of noodle is almost a universal favorite.

Apart from rice being the staple food, noodles and its derivatives, like rice vermicelli, soba, are also
indispensable substitutes. These noodle dishes are sold anywhere and everywhere, in streets and in restaurants
of China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Korea.
 
 
The origin of noodle has since been marred
by the mists of time.  Most people automatically
associate the Chinese as the inventors of noodles

The Italians claim they were the creators, despite the common beliefs that noodle was introduced by
Marco Polo from China to Italy. The Arabs, Japanese, Koreans, French and Germans too have joined the claim!

Chinese researchers may have finally settled the riddle
in early 2005. They unearthed a 4000-year-old
millet-noodle at the upper Yellow River in China.

The millet is a type of grass cultivated in China
for more than 7000 years. It is still one of the
staple diets in certain arid regions of north China.

There are many varieties of noodles which vary according to the region of production, ingredients used, shapes and sizes, texture, hardness, the preparation process and many other factors.
