To those who don't know, washing means rinsing with water. I saw on you tube some thought they had to wash it. With soap. DO NOT USE DISH SOAP IN THE RICE!!. Just plain water. Please.

[@IMChrysalis]

Jasmine, if basmati is not available, but I'd rather make something else if that's possible... and I measure the water so it's one and a half times the rice, and watch it closely, since how much it absorbs will depend on how dry the rice is...

If using basmati, rinse, then soak about 20 minutes. Drain then cook with appropriate amount of water (I back off the water just a little bit.) Learned this while living in India. I was grateful to my neighbor who shared this with me

I was on tour with a bunch of actors from Hong Kong and he wanted to cook rice but didn't bring his rice cooker to the UK. I showed him this method above. He did it once, knocked on my door, shouting, "OH MY GOD THAT'S SO SIMPLE, I DON'T NEED MY RICE COOKER ANY MORE!" I don't know if he got rid of his rice cooker when he got back to HK but it is a bulky piece of kitchen equipment.

Way, way back in the 1900's to help with the growing numbers of US citizens suffering from vitamin deficiencies, grains were fortified with vitamins. We were instructed not to rinse the rice because rinsing would wash away the vitamins and minerals.

[@candacerain1]

The only time I rinsed rice really was when I lived in Korea, but that was because it comes directly from the field to your table. So it would need the rinse.

[@newlife9606]

You poured water out the bowl and not one piece of rice dropped….thats beautiful!

[@TheMayorEsq]

As a Nigerian who washes rice off the sink daily, I'm impressed too😂

[@m.theresa1385]

My mum would not be happy if we let the rice go down the sink while being washed. Not a grain was lost. Mum also made a swishy sound with the water while she washed rice which I’ve never been able to replicate. Another skill was not leaving any rice stuck in the pot when she finished - happily, this too i’m able to do. No waste.

[@bigaliceenergy7578]

I used to haaate long grain rice growing up, and I had no idea why until I started washing it. The excess starch prevents the rice from cooking evenly, so the texture was a mushy mix. I like to rinse it twice and rhen let it sit for a few minutes before a final rinse (and I save some of the water for my hair and skin) It's not hype folks, wash your rice ♡

[@tennysoneffie6943]

I save the water for my outdoor potted plants. The starchy water makes a huge difference. They flower for longer grow larger and are much healthier than plants that haven’t been watered with the rice water.

Hey guys just wanted to let yall know. Everyone stove is different and the type of pot you use matters. My mom taught me how to make rice in a thick pot on a gas stove. When I moved out and had different pots on an electric stove I burnt the rice or it came out mushy for so long. All of this to say if her instructions don’t work exactly that’s ok!

[@sahanamuralidhar]

You can also add a drop of cooking oil or ghee to the rice and water just before cooking. That also makes it soft, fluffy and grains don't stick together, even if you are using regular rice (not necessarily basmathi or long grained rice).

Try adding a small spoon of ghee (clarified butter) to the water when you put the rice on the stove, it will improve the texture.

[@ayeshaumar5325]

Wow that’s perfectly cooked basmati 😍 I’m Indian, so let me share how I do it in case it would help someone! U can also cook (basmati) rice with draining out the water method (like pasta) for those of u who (like me🤣) aren’t able to get the water level right. Rinse the rice well like she did and soak for 15 mins. Drain out water n add it to a pan with lots of salted boiling water jus like u would with pasta. Basmati takes anywhere between 10-15 mins. Taste it to see if it’s soft, then drain immediately. Add a knob of butter or ghee n close the lid n let sit for a few minutes before serving. The timing changes for each packet by 2 or 3 mins, so plz stay close by n check the rice by tasting some first time u open a packet of rice. Then u can use the same timing for the rest of that packet.

Nice rice and easy. If you want to try something a bit more special one of these days, add crushed garlic to a tablespoon of oil or ghee, lightly fry the garlic with salt (key is to add the salt to the garlic and not to the rice water later). Then add your washed rice, toast the rice with the garlic/salt for a few minutes, then add the water. I use basmati and add 1.5 cups of water per cup of rice. Let it boil on high until the water evaporates, then turn it down to very low, cover fully, and leave for 15 minutes. If you want to bring it up another level, use unsalted stock instead of water. Esp good chicken stock
