Rice

I always cook my rice the same way. I’m not saying it’s the right way, or the best way, but it always works for me. Rapidly boil some water and add salt. I use a large handful of rice per portion, and a handful for the pot. I tend to use Basmati rice a lot. Boil the rice for approx 5 mins, stirring frequently so it doesn’t stick. Drain into a metal colander, and rinse with cold water. This helps to remove the starch from the rice. Leave the rice in the colander and put over a simmering pan of boiling water. Cover the top of the colander with foil, or a saucepan lid. This will now steam the rice to perfection. Just give the rice a stir every now and again to ensure it doesn’t stick together and cooks evenly…….. Hopefully you end up with fluffy rice, without the grains all clumped together .
