* What is orez? Rashi (Brachot 37a D”H orez) defines orez as millet and Tosfot D"H Orez defines Orez as rice. Bet Yosef 208:7 rules like Tosfot's definition of Orez. The Mishna Brurah 208:25 writes that because of the dispute some say (Taz) that one should only eat it in a meal or make Shehakol. However, he concludes that many achronim (Lechem Chamudot, Birkei Yosef, Mateh Yehuda, Maaseh Rav of the Gra) agree with Tosfot. Moreover, in Shaar HaTzion 208:31 he adds that there’s several other reasons why there’s what to rely on to make mezonot on rice. So rules Laws of Brachos (Rabbi Forst, pg 359-384) and the Halachos of Brachos (Rabbi Bodner, addendum 4, pg 517).

# Rice which is crushed and cooked is mezonot. However, rice which is whole is subject to some dispute but nonetheless, the major poskim all rule that the Bracha is Mezonot. <Ref>

* When is rice Mezonot? Gemara Brachot 37a writes that raw rice is HaAdama however, if it’s crushed into flour, baked into bread, and then cooked, whether or not the pieces of the bread dissolve in the water the Bracha is Mezonot (according to the explanation of Rashi). The Rosh (Brachot 6:8) rules that for both a cooked dish and bread (baked dish) made from rice the Bracha is Mezonot and Boreh Nefashot. The Rambam (Brachot 3:10), Tur and S”A 208:7 agree. [The Bet Yosef 208:7 explains that the proof of the Rosh is from the fact that when the pieces of bread are intact then it’s the equivalent of rice bread which wasn’t cooked and when the pieces of bread are dissolved, then it’s the equivalent (more precisely, it’s no worse than) of cooked dish made from rice.]
