Rice comes in one of the following forms:

1. Plain white rice in a ball (mi fan - 米饭) - 1 Kuai ball should be a part of every meal in a Chinese restaurant. Apparently it helps against the spiciness of certain dishes.
2. Fried rice (chao fan - 炒饭) - usually with vegetables, scrambled eggs and possibly chopped meat
3. Porridge (zhou - 粥)
