Rice is usually a staple in Chamorro kitchens, both as part of our daily meals and also for special occasions. In this post we will be learning about rice in Chamorro, including three short recipes for making white rice, red rice, and potu, which is a steamed rice cake. These selections are from a book about Chamorro food written by Carmen C. Blas, which I found in the UOG Digital Archives and Exhibitions website. This post includes a Chamorro audio narration by Jay Che’le, the Chamorro text, and an English translation. Happy reading!
