How To Cook Perfect Rice Everytime:
*if you don't have a rice cooker and using a regular sauce pan with lid*
1️⃣measure 1.5 cups dry rice
2️⃣place in a wide bowl and wash 3-4 times to remove excess starch
3️⃣cover washed rice completely with clean water and soak for 1 hour minimum
4️⃣pour out soaking liquid and place soaked rice into your sauce pan
5️⃣measure 1.25 cups clean water and add to the sauce pan
6️⃣with the lid off, bring to a boil (~2.5 minutes on highest heat) and then reduce the flame to low.
7️⃣put the lid on and simmer on low for 10 minutes.
8️⃣remove from heat and gently stir rice with chopsticks
9️⃣replace lid, with heat off, and let rest for an additional 10 minutes.
-then, just transfer to a baking sheet to cook quickly and place in fridge if youre not using it immediately.
I'll be using this rice to make some homebrew sake, stayed tuned and follow along for that ;)
