Name: How to Cook Rice
Cuisine: Korean
Ingredients: Rinse and clean the rice in cold water at least three times, or until the water runs clear. Put the rice in the pot you are going to cook it in, and then cover the rice with cold water. Place your clean hand in the pot and lay it flat on top of the rice with your fingers spread out as shown. The water should just cover your knuckles. If it doesn’t, add a little more; if it’s too much, pour a little out. (This I call my grandma trick, because it’s how my grandmother taught me.); There are many ways to make rice, and this is how I do it—it works with any kind of rice. You want to end up with about 1 cup (184 g) rice per person, so start with ½ cup (100 g) uncooked rice per person.; Cover the pot tightly and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to as low as you can go without it being off, and cook for 18 minutes without lifting the lid. After 18 minutes, increase the heat to high for 1 minute without lifting the lid, then turn off the heat and let the pot sit covered for 15 minutes more. Remove the lid, fluff the rice, and keep it covered and warm until time to serve.
