Answers:
Melt a tablespoon of butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Rinse a cup of rice in a strainer with cold water. Toast the rice in the melted butter for about a minute. Add 2 cups of water or broth or a combination of both and salt (and any seasonings like) to the rice and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork -- avoid using a spoon as it can smash the grains.
steam it
Use minute rice.
1 cup of rice 1 cup of water 1 cup of chicken broth. Bring the liquids to a boil, add the rice. Stir once, put the heat on simmer, cover, set the timer for 20 minutes.
I used to to do the whole water and rice in a pot thing. Now I have a rice cooker. Yes it's cheating but i dont have to watch it.
Double the amount of liquid to the amount of rice (example: 2 cups of liquid to 1 cup of rice). Bring to a hard boil. Cover the pot, turn the heat to low, and let it sit. How long depends if it is quick rice or regular rice. Either way, fluff with a fork before serving.
gotta agree with the rice cooker! i used to have so many rice disasters and someone gave us one as a gift and i have never looked back!
If you're cooking it on the stove, use slightly less (about 1/8-cup) water than is recommended on the package, a little bit of salt, a pat of butter, and after it's done, remove the lid for about 5 minutes (and then put it back on)
read the directions on the package! the best way to cook long grain rice is to put double the amount of water (1 cup rice to 2 cups water) with some salt in a pot with a tight fitting lid. bring the water to a boil then cook on low for a few minutes (a cup usually takes about 10-15 mins). turn the stove off and let it sit for a few minutes. the steam will make it nice and fluffy. fluff with a fork before serving. i like to add a little butter for extra flavor. i always had the same problem too when cooking rice. it always came out too watery or too dry and it wasn't fluffy. i read the direction on the package and now it comes out perfect every time. good luck!
Buy a electrical rice cooker and follow the instruction from the Manuel + the recipes (usually the maker would provide a recipe books with the cooker as gift).
The last but not least is practice!!!!
Well thats a very easy fix, just get yourself a rice cooker and you will have perfect rice eveytime. I have one and trust me I never burned or had less than pertect rice ok?... you are so welcome
Add a little olive oil to the bottom of the pan. When the oil heats up, add your rice and stirring quickly, heat the rice for about two minutes before adding your water (this cuts down on your cooking time). Check your package, but I use organic brown rice and the ratio is 3:1, water to rice. For more flavor, use organic vegetable broth for some or all of your liquid. Bring it to a boil. Then turn down to simmer. Cover and cook 20-25 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
cook it in the microwave..first let the rice soak for atleast 1/2 an hour...then put it in the oven...when it boils add salt...then mix nicely and then after sometime u get ur rice-fluffy and nice
Take 1 cup of rice and place in bowl. Rinse rice 6 times to rid of starch and freshen. Rinse by adding water to rice and swirl around with spoon or fingers. Pour water from rice, then, rinse again. After rinsing, place rice in pot, then, add 1 1/2 cups of cold water. Heat to boil, then, when moisture starts rising against pot, place on very low heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and, set aside, still covered for 15 minutes. Remove lid and enjoy.
nice and fluffy ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmma
