My friend Kay remembers going
My friend Kay remembers going home from school and having to scrub potatoes and put them on to boil for dinner. I had a similar experience with the Asian version: making rice.
It's been years since I've made rice in a pot -- I always use my electric rice cooker, (http://about.specialfork.com/blog/201...) where it's as simple as measuring out rice and water, pressing a button and walking away until the rice is done.
But recently, in trying to help out people on Twitter wanting to know how to make rice, I thought of the technique my mom taught me years ago. This is not the definitive way to cook rice and I've only tried it for white, short-grain rice -- the sticky rice you get in Japanese restaurants. But for this type of rice, the method works like a charm.
Some things to know:
• You need a heavy pot with a lid.
• Dry short-grain rice will yield about three times the quantity when cooked, so 1-1/2 cups of uncooked rice will make 4-1/2 cups of cooked rice.
• Once the rice is rinsed, measure water one-to-one; a cup of water to each cup of rice. (It's actually a little more water to rice, but you'll have residual water in the rice from rinsing.) Or use your finger to measure the depth of rice to determine how much water you need, as I show in this video.
