how to cook rice 101, just for stigg :)

[kcma]

there are many varieties of rice, and they all cook differently (surprise!).

you said your bag has asian writing all over it. so, chance is, you have short grain rice (cal rose or similar), or jasmine rice. if you got sweet, sticky or gelatinous rice... they're not the rice you're expecting :p

there are arborio and many italian varieties of rice for risotto, but they don't have asian writings on them :) and there's basmati rice, but they usually are from himalaya, and don't have chinese/japanese/thai writing.

for all rice, wash them in a strainer to wash out some startch. after washing put it in a pot and put int about 1-1.2 parts of water per 1 part of short grain/jasmine rice, 1.2-1.5 for basmati. bring it to a boil, turn heat down to simmer and cover for 12 minutes or so until all the liquid is absorbed. fluff it with a fork and cover again and let it sit for another 5-10 min. done :) steam rice.

and i assume that's what you're asking stigg. if you want risotto or pilaf you'll have to be more specific :p

ps. you're 80 msg limit got PWNED! i couldnt send you PM. dood, seriously, get your butt on IM! i'm done with the PMs :p

asians usualy can't make rice without a rice maker :p should've seen the first batch i made :D

you can also cook it like pasta. big pot of boiling water, strain it when it's done, and dry it out a bit . but i think that's kindda gross... go try again boy :)
