Steamed Rice

Why do people make so much fuss over cooking rice?

Do not use quick cook or par-boiled rice - it tastes awful.

Measure rice: 

2 measures of rice to 3 measures water or stock.

For brown or wholegrain rice use a ratio of 1 measures of rice to 2 of liquid.

Wash and drain rice.

Use a heavy pan with a heavy lid.

Add water or stock.

Cover and bring to a rapid boil.

Remove from heat.

Do NOT remove lid until the rice has stood (This is the bit that everybody gets wrong); the rice cooks in the steam.

Stand COVERED for at least 10 minutes.

Fork to seperate the grains, add butter if required.

Serve

Enjoy!
