How to Cook Rice
Excelsior Culinary Students, Cooking a pot of rice is one of those everyday things that everyone has to do, but no-one seems to be able to do well! For most, the biggest problem is rice sticking to the bottom of the pot or burning altogether. With this technique, this is no longer a worry. Since the pot is not over an open flame and the steam will keep the pot moist even after the rice finishes cooking, you can walk away, forget about it, and go take a nap.

[edit] StepsCommon rice sold in the US is usually fortified with key vitamins and minerals (like Iron and Niacin), most of which will be washed away if the rice is soaked and washed prior to cooking. On the other hand, soaking and washing the rice will result in fluffier, lighter cooked rice, with fuller grain that doesn't stick. Washing will remove a good percentage of the starch in the grain leaving the protein intact.
Soak the rice in cold water for 30-60 minutes
Rinse/wash in sink until it the water is clear enough to see the rice through it. So basically, keep the water running on low while shaking the rice until the foggy white color turns to clean clear.
Measure one cup of washed rice into a pot (or you if you skipped the soaking/washing you can start here with dry rice out of the bag).
Pour one and a half cups of cold water into the pot. It depends on the rice and your preference, you may want to add 1.75 cups of water.
Place the pot over a moderate to high heat.
Turn down the heat to the minimum possible when the rice comes to a rolling boil, and continue heating for five more minutes. Place a well sealed lid on the pot at this time.
A "rolling boil" is when large bubbles appear that cannot be dissipated by stirring, and will keep breaking the surface. In making rice, the rolling boil is important so that enough steam builds up to completely cook the rice without it being over an open flame.
Rinse your beaker thoroughly to wash any excess powder. 12. Repeat steps 7-11 3 more times for reliability. To make sure the temperature still stays hot by continue heating the water a little bit using the hot plate. 13.
7.) After you have heated them to the right temperatures, pour the excess water into a dry evaporating dish. ( Be sure not to get any of the substance in your solution. )
The last step of this recipe is waiting. The master pot should be left on low heat for about one hour and a half to two hours while stirring consistently to prevent sticking or burning to the edges of the pan. The sauce can be thinned if too thick by simply adding some more, you guessed it, chicken stock. When the sauce is done, my grandmother usually puts some salt and pours it on some cooked chicken with rice on the sides. The rice she makes (another traditional dish) is delicious and requires a recipe of its own. But after the sauce is nice and ready, pour it on your choice of poultry or even get crative. The end result is always a happy mouth and a taste of mexican heritage itself. Enjoy.
Combine ingredients in a small pot and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. When it thickens, remove and add toppings of choice. Dig in. Note: Coconut milk, soy milk, or other substitute will work in this recipe.
7. Using the stirring wire, stir the mixture until the solute completely dissolves. Turn the heat source off, and allow the solution to cool.
Pour the turkey drippings into a measuring cup and add enough chicken stock to make 1 ½ cups.
An important fact is that rice is not used to accompany the hot plate; on the contrary, the hot plates are used to accompany the rice. The broths and soups, unlike the West, are served several times as other foods. Soup usually is accompanied with fruits. On the table there should be 3 glasses of different sizes, the largest is used for drinking water, the medium for rice wine, and the smallest for liquor. The basic cover consists of a bowl, a plate, a pair of chopsticks, cup of tea and a porcelain spoon. Chopsticks are used to eat and to take food, but after lunch, they never are left in the plate, but next to the plate. People should not drink until the host has not raised his glass. A person never serves in its own glass; instead he serves to someone else, while that person will return the kindness. People should not be surprised if someone is slurping the soup while making a loud noise; it is the right way to prove that the soup is

Wait until the water boils and record the temperature to make sure that it is 100 degrees
...pot again. This process is known as spotting and is very important when performing turns (“Chaines Turns”).
Plan 1. Collect 4 different sized beakers 2. Boil some water in the kettle 3. Pour 50ml into each beaker 4. After 1 minute check temperature 5.
In a 100ml beaker place 50mls of water, measure the temperature of the water and record this initial temperature onto a table. Set the timer and add one teaspoon of Ammonium Nitrate to the water, stir this continuously until the Ammonium Nitrate has dissolved.
1. Now that your water is filling up in your washing machine, pour in laundry detergent, liquid or powder. (note: putting detergent into load before the water is completely filled may cause white spots or fading in your clothes)
Rice is also a common food, especially in South India. Since rice symbolizes good fortune in India, rice porridge is usually the first solid food fed to babies (Sheen 8). Rice is also the most crucial crop to India, which is why it is usually prepared in a spiced dish, called pilau. Even though there are...
