I adapted a method I learned for making basmati rice. In the original method, a lot of oil and salt is added to the rice before it's cooked (boiled), but that increases the sodium and calorie count, so I make it without adding anything.As long as you have plenty of water in relation to the rice, you don't have to measure out either. Try to drain off the hot water when the rice is still firm. The rice cooks much faster than in a rice cooker, and you can cook it to your desired degree of firmness, so this method should be foolproof for any type of long grain rice.

simple & delicious :-)

I adjusted the time and amount of water used in a recipe published in a war-era women's magazine titled "Japanese Housewife" that I found at a garbage collection facility.This is also called "Shock Rice Cooking" since you add in 'shock water' (cold water added to keep a pot from boiling over). It is far easier and more delicious than I thought it would be. Recipe by himi2001

Very similar to Uncle Bens without all the chemicals, additives and sodium

This makes a yummy side dish for taco night or any other type of Spanish themed meal. It's pictured without the bell pepper in, as i sometimes dont have peppers in hand, but it's still just as good without.

Not everyone eats rice daily like the Japanese, and not everyone has a rice cooker on hand. so this recipe is to show you how Japanese rice is cooked on a stove top.

Every summer, my parents would take all of us up to Cape Cod for a few weeks. I love the food up there. Between all of the different fresh fish and the great Portuguese dishes, I am in heaven. One of my favorite places to eat is John's Foot Long in Provincetown.I am allergic to shellfish so I have never had it, but I heard that their lobster roll is one of the best. Judging by all of their other dishes, I would not doubt that. My favorite dish of theirs is their Portuguese Rice. I have been trying to find a similar recipe to theirs, but it is impossible. Along the way, I have combined a few recipes that I have found and came up with one that I like a lot.It is nothing similar to John's in taste, but it is still very, very good. Definitely worth the try. #mycookbookEnjoy!

Let's back to basics! Leaning a proper Japanese rice recipe helps your Japanese foods more authentic!#rice #basic

I came up with this recipe trying to find a side to eat with Jerk Chicken. My family doesn't care for the kidney beans or coconut milk that most traditional Caribbean rice dishes are made with so we tried something different. It came out great! Super flavourful!

My rice cooker can only cook from 300 g to 1.5 kg of rice. However, if I use a saucepan, I can cook less than 300 g of rice whenever.When you rinse the rice, be gentle. If you rinse roughly, the rice grains will break and the texture won't be pleasant when eating. After rinsing, drain well.If the saucepan lid clatters while cooking, place a large bowl on top of the lid to secure. Recipe by Wnaow.
