HOW TO MAKE PERFECT STEAMED RICE

The rice must be cleaned properly. Cleaning the rice removes the impurities and also removes excess starches. I use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water. Regardless of how much rice you make, always keep the same ratio. If you want your rice softer or harder, you can change the ratio.

To conserve water, don't let water run continuously when cleaning the rice. That's what I did in the video. A few viewers have pointed that out to me.

First, put 2 cups of rice in a cooking pot. After rinsing the rice 6 times in cold water, I measure 2 cups of water to add to the rice in the pot. Put the pot on the stove at medium heat. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Don't remove lid to peek at the rice during the cooking. Don't stir the rice at this time. When the time is up, there will be no visible water on the surface of the rice. Give the rice a quick stir with a spoon or spatula. Cover the pot with the lid again and turn the heat down to low and let rice steam for 10 minutes. Then give the rice another quick stir and cover the rice again. Turn the heat off and let the rice steam for the last 10 minutes. That's all there is to making perfect rice. Enjoy!
