Ode to Rice

Overview

Rice is the foundation of Gullah cooking, and Kardea Brown's grandma always has a pot of it ready to go. Kardea is making four dishes using rice to show her grandma how many ways there are to transform the humble grain into something delicious and unexpected. She fries up Crispy Rice Cereal-Coated chicken, makes a Cheesy Rice Casserole with Turkey and amps up the flavor with Curried Rice Salad. There's even rice in one of Grandma's favorite desserts, Sticky Rice Pudding with Mango.
