Basmati for Chinese/Indian food and Arborio for Spanish (Paella) /Italian food, forget the long grain enriched processed stuff only good use for that is wallpaper paste :eek: :eek:

I'm with you on washing rice well before cooking. The amount of crud that can come off into water is truly scary. I dont want that murky, murky solution anywhere near my delicate intestines.

Re: Perfect Rice?

yep the above post is similar to what i do - i let the rice soak for half an hour before cooking and then rinse really well - the startch makes it gloopy

also i found it such a trial to make egg fried rice because you have to cook it and let it cool and even then it never turned out right
so now i buy the packets of uncle bens microwave rice (plain not the egg fried type its naff)
and instead of microwaving it i fry it up with some eggs and a bit of soy sauce and you get perfect egg fried rice so theres another tip for you x

Re: Perfect Rice?

I was once told by a chef that putting a drop of cooking oil in stops it going all stodgy/sticking together.

Rinsing it several times stops it going stodgy a drop of oil stops it sticking.:)
Same with Pasta.

Re: Perfect Rice?

Rice cookers are the way to go, just rinse your rice, put it in cooker and forget about it. this comes from a person that burns water.

Re: Perfect Rice?

I always put a knob of butter in my packet rice whilst cooking .. gives it a more moist taste. Then, LOL, I like to cover it in Worcester Sauce and Soy Sauce. Ah well, everyone to their own taste ... :D
