So How do You Cook Your Rice?

I am a Chinese. In fact it is quite easy to cook the rice since most of us use the rice cooker It is the most convenient way and even a little child can know how to cook rice with it. We tend to eat the plain rice with different dishes as lunch and dinner. Sometimes we will also make the fried rice.

Here are a few good ideas which you may want to consider: 1. Instead of water, you may want to consider adding coconut milk. 2. Cook a pot of chicken broth with ginger slices and use the broth instead of water. Add fried garlic for fragrance. 3. For more fiber, you can consider mixing a quarter portion of brown rice and peanuts. Hope you will like the above.

Whatever it says on the package....

Well, I do it in the traditional way, have it boil until it reaches the cook state. We also do some fried rice cooking especially for old rice, mix with vegetables and meat to have a good and nice fried rice. Sometimes we do some soup rice method were we boil it with much water, add some salt and some vegetables/meat, sometimes coca can be added on it have some chocolate type of soup rice..

I rarely eat rice as I find that it sticks in my throat.

I recently purchased a electric pressure cooker and it makes perfect rice every time in 10 minutes! I use either 1 cup rice and 1 cup water. If you want more servings just double the amount.

I buy the rice that you boil in a bag so I don't have to measure the water. Sometimes I'll even buy the rice in a pouch that you can microwave.

Here's how to cook rice: One cup of rice will take 2 cups of water to cook. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of butter. In a sauce pan adequate for the amount of rice you are cooking you will bring the water to a boil. Stir in the ingredients and cover. Takes about 18 to 25 minutes to cook white rice, 30 to 40 for brown and 45 to 60 for wild rice. Start checking the rice around 18 minutes for white rice and 30 minutes for brown rice. When done, the rice will be firm but tender, and no longer crunchy. It is fine if it's slightly sticky but shouldn't be gummy. If there is still water left in the pan when the rice is done, tilt the pan to drain it off. When the rice is done, turn off the heat and take off the lid. Fluff the rice with a spoon or a fork, and let it sit for a few moments to "dry out" and lose that wet, just-steamed texture. Rice keeps well in the fridge for several days, so you can make extra ahead to serve later.

I always fry the rice (not parboiled as I don`t like it) with oil and a crushed clove of garlic and coarse salt. When the rice changes colour, I pour boiling water. I put a bit over 1 1/2 cup of water for a cup of rice. I boil it in high heat for about 5 minutes until the water is absorbed by the rice. Then I lower the heat to minimum and cook it for 20 minutes. Just before lowering the heat, I turn it a bit with a fork. I have never used butter.

I cook my rice the same way you do except when it is done I add butter and sugar

An Indian friend showed me how to rinse the white rice first until the water runs clear and let it dry a bit while the water comes to boil. It cooks faster and gets a little sticky like sushi rice. I make it with salt for most meals but for breakfast we add some fruit and honey and make it much like oatmeal.

We eat boiled rice which is supposed to be good for health unlike the white rice. We cook in the pressure cooker. After the two whistles the flame is put off and the rice cooks in for one hour. It is then put in a colander and drained out. Pullao and Biryani is made from Basmati rice. After the rice is fried in ghee hot water is poured, adding all the spices and cooked in the pressure for 3 minutes. For every cup of rice, one and a half cup of water is used.

I make mine the same. But... the trick we use in mexico is to fry it a few minute sin oil before adding the water.. Try it..

personally, i think the rice cooker and the washing machine are the most useful inventions! (well, a single tub automatic machine would be perfect, but it's okay) anyway. usually, we wash it 2x, add water, then lower the heat when it's boiling. the ratio is 1:1. when you can "smell" the rice, then it's cooked. some varieties need an extra cup of water. some still use the metal pot and the finger method. but because of the rice cooker, you now can leave it after pressing start. this will pop back up and the red light will go off to signal that the rice is cooked. it's actually still wet so we pull the plug also and wait a few minutes to let it dry up. the problem is sometimes we actually forget to press start so a rice cooker that has a sensor would be perfect! when there's too much leftover rice, we make fried rice. by the way, my mother collects the rice wash to water her plants. it's really interesting to read how rice is cooked in other countries, even how it's packaged. we usually have one sack of rice delivered, around 50 kilos, and it's good for 2 months in our household.

I just do what the package says. Sometimes I get lazy and buy the bags of rice in the freezer section. They are the steamer bags. All you have to do it toss it in the microwave for about 6 minutes and poof...cooked rice.

now you made me hungry for rice. i just hope somes in there which i think there is. i have rice in a drop in bag just drop it in and boil it a little. take out the bag and dump it. here in america, my family puts chili over it or we even just eat it on the side as an extra food on the plate or ive even had it for breakfast with butter, milk and sugar as a cereal

Nothing secret, but I always add a little bit more water than is recommended on the bags. Reason is because it doesn't cook properly otherwise. If necessary, I can drain any excess into a bottle to be used as a toner later.

Well if i wanna to make my rice smell delicious, sometimes I put pandan leaves with rice and cook it with my rice cooker .. After it done, your rice will smell so delicious and makes people love to eat that again and again .. Sometimes I put lard and some butter , it will makes your rice feel so yumm ,, try that and tell me how your family feeling :D

I cook rice in the very simple way. As in very simple, just plain water and rice.

We use to eat rice with a little butter and parmesan. But I love it with peas, ham and mushrooms especially in summer!
