YES, you may use an action to drop the rice there for later use by the Chef (whoever decides to "make" the meal).

Great, I'll drop the rice in the kitchen for later use and then move S x2!

Maybe we should look for more rice.

I mean, in the zombie apocalypse.. what's better than a meal of rice?

two meals of rice!
