Top 10 pairings
Rice bran oil is a mild, pale-gold cooking oil pressed and extracted from rice bran — the nutrient-rich germ and outer husk layer stripped off when brown rice is milled into white. Nearly neutral in taste with a very high smoke point, it is a favourite frying and finishing oil across East and South Asia and is marketed worldwide for its unusually rich content of the antioxidant gamma-oryzanol and vitamin E.

Good to know
Rice bran oil is a by-product of rice milling: it comes from the bran — the germ and outer layers stripped off to turn brown rice into white — which is only about 8% of the kernel but holds most of its oil at roughly 15–23%.
