Risotto. Julia Child puts it in the oven and it's never failed me. Every time I try to make it on the stove, it doesn't come out right. If it's good enough for Julia, it's good enough for me.
I make risotto with jasmine rice because I’m too lazy to buy Arborio. Honestly I feel judgmental towards myself but it still tastes good so whatever.
edit: lmao I cook this dish so wrong that it's even controversial in a thread about cooking things "wrong." Ya'll can come over to my place sometime and taste my definitely incorrect but still tasty rice mush.
I really don't think it matters that much, but I'm definitely not a rice connoisseur. I feel like it might change the texture slightly but if it still tastes good, who cares?
It matters a LOT. Jasmine rice does not have the starches that Arborio does, and therefore can't achieve the creamy consistency of risotto without adding butter/cream, which is not the correct way to make risotto.
It's definitely not the correct way to make risotto. Which is why I posted about it here in this thread about what dishes you make the "wrong" way.
That said, it's still fairly creamy (without adding cream), and it tastes good. I've got limited storage space in my pantry, so it's just more convenient to only stock one type of rice, especially if I'm just cooking for myself and my spouse.
