Lots of foodies here, this is definitely where I belong. I would suggest:
Pad Se Ew: Thai: Thick rice noodles, spinach or broccoli, chicken/pork/beef, soy sauce, it's stir-fried This will probably be really hard to make at home, but I suggest trying this at a Thai restaurant.
Jambalaya: Louisiana, Caribbean: Rice, veggies, and meat such as sausage, chicken, beef or pork, I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be very spicy. I had this the other day and it was definitely spicy for me.
Goya Mexican Rice-I love this stuff so much: Mexican: Yellow rice and assorted veggies such as corn and peppers. Just buy this stuff at the store or I suppose you could make this fairly easily. I suggest adding more corn to this, it tastes amazing.
More rice! Italian Risotto: Not sure how you would make this, just look up a recipe. Though, my mom uses a brand called "Riso Bello" that is amazing. We like to add mushrooms and top it off with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
Not sure if everything I wrote is correct, just outlining the general idea of each dish as best as I can.
Hope this helps.
