Add a different ingredient to it and it's different again. Or if you're feeling sick you can make rice porridge. If you want something warm to drink you can drink rice coffee. If you want something cold maybe rice milk, which is also a breast milk substitute. You can feement it and turn it into a condiment or maybe wine. Rice wine hits hard.
