What goes with Red Rice?
Red rice here means rice retaining a reddish bran layer, not a tomato-seasoned rice dish. The intact outer layers give a firm bite and a dry, nutty cereal character. Cultivar and degree of milling change both cooking time and the amount of chew.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Red Rice?
Roasted vegetables or cooked beans provide a softer counterpoint to the bran. A citrus or vinegar dressing helps a grain salad taste lively, and herbs prevent a nutty, earthy composition becoming monotonous. Match the dressing’s moisture to the rice instead of compensating with extra oil alone.
