A Bowl of Rice is one serving of cooked rice, shared out from a pot or a saucepan. It is a simple, starchy meal and a key ingredient for sushi and cabbage rolls. It is good hot, so it is best eaten soon after serving.

A Bowl of Rice is made by dividing a cooked pot or saucepan of rice into 2 or 4 bowls. The rice keeps for a few days in the bowl. The empty Bowl comes back after the meal, and a clay bowl version works the same way. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.

Eating

A plain Bowl of Rice lowers hunger by 12. It holds 160 calories, almost all from 36 grams of carbohydrates. It carries 3 grams of protein and 0 grams of fat. Plain rice is a light filler that does little for body weight on its own.

The rice is good hot, so eating it warm gives a small mood lift. Microwaving it spoils some of that benefit, so an oven or a stove is the better way to heat it.

A Bowl of Pasta lowers hunger by the same 12 but holds 330 calories and 24 grams of protein. Rice needs meat, beans or fish added to the pot to match it.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking

Rice starts as a Cooking Pot with Rice or a Saucepan with Rice. It is an evolved dish that takes up to 5 ingredients. Condiments and spices do not count toward that limit. Frozen ingredients cannot go in, and cooking the finished pot improves its effect.

Ground Beef and Steak each add 20 hunger, and a Fish Fillet adds 15. A Tomato adds 12, Black Beans add 10, and Carrots or a Bell Pepper add 8. Gravy adds 4, and salt, pepper and garlic add 1 each as seasoning.

A Bowl of Rice also feeds several crafting recipes. Prepare Sushi, Prepare Maki and Prepare Onigiri each use rice with fish. Make 4 Cabbage Rolls turns rice into four rolls. A single bowl reheats in 10 minutes and burns after 40.

A Bowl of Rice stays fresh for 3 days and is fully rotten by day 6. A fridge slows both counts down. As the rice spoils, its good effects turn into bad ones, so it should be eaten or used while fresh.
