List of Foods That Start With R

1

Ramen

A Japanese wheat-noodle soup with a savory broth, toppings, and infinite regional variations — an obsession in Japan and a global phenomenon.

2

Ratatouille

A Provencal vegetable stew of tomato, eggplant, zucchini, peppers, and onions stewed slowly in olive oil with herbs — peasant food turned French classic.

3

Rendang

An Indonesian slow-cooked dry beef curry from Padang, Sumatra — simmered for hours in coconut milk and spices until the liquid evaporates and the meat is coated in a dark, concentrated paste.

4

Ribollita

Tuscany's most nourishing peasant soup — a thick, bread-thickened minestrone of cannellini beans, cavolo nero, and winter vegetables, built over several days by rebooling (ribollita means "reboiled") leftovers; the bread dissolves completely, creating a soup so thick a spoon stands upright in it.

5

Risotto

A creamy Northern Italian rice dish where short-grain rice is slowly stirred with broth until it releases starch and becomes silky — a technique disguised as a recipe.

6

Rogan Josh

A Kashmiri slow-braised lamb curry of Persian origin — deep red from Kashmiri chillies and Ratan Jot bark rather than from turmeric, mildly spiced relative to much Indian cooking.

7

Rye Bread

A dense, dark bread made from rye flour — staple of Scandinavian, German, Eastern European, and Jewish Ashkenazi cuisines, with a distinctive sour flavour from extended fermentation.
