I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
I'm not sure if I read it in this OP or in a subsequent post but which languages is the word/phrase for eat food literally translated as "eat rice" other than Chinese?

Maybe Thai? I think they say "kin khao" (eat rice) to mean "eat."

i got a list somewhere let me go get it

e:

1. most but not strictly all of the chinese languages
2. japanese
3. korean
4. vietnamese
5. thai
6. tagalog
7. khmer
8. burmese
9. bengali
10. tamil

the script dominance of chinese languages means that in basically all written chinese, whatever dialect, it is that way

notably missing are austro-asiatic languages

Japanese gets funky with it in that the inherent "eating-rice"ness of 食 and its derivatives isn't immediately accepted in most cases; there are (among other things) a native 食べ物 tabemono "food", Sino-xenic 食物 shokumotsu and 食品 shokuhin "foodstuffs" before reaching 飯 which explicitly refers to cooked rice and used in mixed ご飯 gohan "meal" or informal native めし meshi "meal" that's commonly written with 飯 but predates the introduction of Hanzi and probably derives from "served" or "presented".

食る/食う tabe.ru/ku.u "eat" and its close relative 喰う ku.u "devour" can apply to any of these, and while the written version of each incorporates 食 the spoken versions derive from "to have been deigned to be given to" and "to mouth" respectively.

That said, the most common colloquial "eat" is probably "(朝・昼・夜)ご飯を食べる", "have breakfast/lunch/dinner", and the name of each meal is "(time of day) + (cooked rice)".

Grab a rotisserie chicken from your local supermarket and toss some in with some freshly-cooked white or brown rice and a favorite sauce or seasoning. I'm partial to peri-peri sauce, Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce, or even just a little butter.

Honestly, adding a little butter and salt to some fresh rice is pretty awesome on its own.

Put some rice in the rice cooker, put some veggies in the steamer basket above it.
Then assemble and pour over some spice mix. Like Furikake, Shichimi, LGM, or whatever.

For more power you can add a whole egg to the steamer. Or mix in the raw egg into your rice. Or add some canned fish to your meal. Or premade daal from your fridge.

For slightly more effort you take the same veggies, shake them with gee and soy-sauce and brown them in your oven/air-fryer/pan. Similarly you turn the egg into an omelet.

Oh, and Jones was there too.

Rice and furikake and chili oil.

Maybe pour some instant miso soup over cold rice too, I used to do that when I was hard up.

Rice + tinned fish of some kind, whatever sauce (I like chili crisp or mango chutney) + a diced up vegetable or green beans/peas. Incredibly easy, I guess an egg like everyone else says would make it even nicer. You can add coconut milk to the rice in the rice cooker for more taste/calories

Oh yeah, tinned mackerel in tomato sauce was a go-to. Cheap, reasonably good for you, and you can add it cold to the hot rice and it's still very good.

Tinned chickpeas mixed with salt, pepper, a touch of vinegar and olive oil can be good too, as a topping.

Chop up some kimchi, add that + kimchi juice, gochujang, rice vinegar and possibly soy sauce to the rice cooker. Top with a fried egg if you're feeling adventurous.
