Like David Chang, I believe this year is all about rice. It's a delicious and ancient staple consumed by more than half the world's population. There are more than 7,000 varieties of rice and countless cultural preparations, so I've decided it's time to race around the world in the comforts of my own kitchen.

Round out the menu with brussels sprouts and cranberry brown butter. Want a taste of these delicious recipes? Just read more
