whats your way of cooking rice?

I cook all types of rice the same way. I measure out an amount of rice then put it into a non-stick saucepan. I then measure out double that amount of water, remove and discard two teaspoonfuls, then pour the kept water over the rice. I then bring the rice and water to the boil without stirring. Once it has reached boiling point, I stir once, then turn to a medium-low simmer, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and leave to simmer for 14 minutes. I then, still keeping the lid on the pan, remove it from the heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes. I then remove the lid from the pan, fluff the rice up with a fork and serve. Doesn't sound all that different from the way you do it.

hi there way. i was 11 then when i first started cooking. and the first thing that i cook was rice! well, my father gave me the directions on how to cook it so i followed it. i placed the rice and placed some water to clean the rice. i did that twice. they say that washing it twice would wash off the nutrients in the rice. anyway i washed it twice so that it would not be dusty or something. (oh! i forgot the term) after washing it i would measure water with the lines of my fingers. my father said. "just place you finger tips on top of the rice grains then measure the water level with the first line of your fingers" funny right? since the middle finger has lower line. so i take the index and ring fingers level since it leveled same for my fingers. and that's it cooking time. :) my father also told me to watch the rice as it boils for me to mix it so that the rice grains would be cook evenly. by the way we use the saucepan. then i still do it now. wherever i go. that's how i cook rice. :)

The rice is a main food in my country. And today it is very easy for us to cook rice since we take advantage of the rice cooker. It is the basic electrical appliance here. You just need to put some water and then press the button. After some time, the rice will be ready. I love China

Nowadays rice is usually cooked using an electric rice cooker. The actual amount of water needed depends on the type of rice, and how the rice is intended to turn out to be. Glutinous rice is sometimes cooked in bamboo. Coconut milk is used instead of water. This is considered to be a special dish. Black glutinous rice is also cooked in coconut milk and turned into a kind of porridge with added sugar.

The way I cook rice is very simple and it always turns out light and fluffy. I rinse the rice(I use long grain) in water to get rid of any excess starch, and put it in a saucepan. For very cup of rice I add 1 1/2 cups water. Then I bring the water and rice to the boil, uncovered, at medium heat; when it is boiling I turn the heat down to medium low and out the lid on keeping it tilted to allow steam to escape. When holes begin to appear in the rice I then put the lid on tight and turn the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Then I just fluff up the rice with a fork and serve it. I sometimes add some wild rice to my long grain rice as well.

I also have the same way of cooking rice. I guess that's the only way to cook rice. Maybe for wild rice it would still be the same.

My family comes from Southern India where rice is cooked till it is extremely soft by adding atleast 2.5 (sometimes 3, depending on the variety and age of the rice) cups of water per cup of rice, taken in a rice cooker. For flavor, a spoonful of butter can be added before steaming. This makes the rice smell great, taste rich and doesn't make the grains stick to each other. My grandmom does not use a rice cooker at all. She steams a LOT of rice (for a huge family of seven people) in a giant pot with excess of water. After say 20-30 minutes or when the rice is cooked to a desired consistency, she simply drains off the excess water and fluffs up the grains with a fork. This rice tastes great too. :)

I cook all kinds of rice. Though the one I eat most is long grain white rice it is usually cooked in a rice cooker and ocassionally with a saucepan. The way I measure rice is measure/estimate.

i have a simple formula for you to boil the rice .. even if you sont have the rice cooker .. first of all, wash the rice properly andmake them wet for 15 minutes .. remember , whenever you are putting the rice in the water (to make them wet) then you should put them with the help of glass and count how many cups have you put ...... then when 15 minutes are over, take out the water from the bowl and then throw the rice in the utensil you cook food in .. and start cooking it for half minuts . .after hald minutes, put double the quantity of water(for exapmple if you have 1 cup of rice then put 2 cups of water) and then cover it for 15 minutes.. also put little bit salt in it .. after 15 minutes your rice will be cooked .. im not good in explaining the recipes but hope you have understand
