Tell me the details like what makes yours perfect, why, and your cultural influence if any. I mean, rice is totally different with Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Persian food just to name a few. It is not just the spices or sauces I’m mostly interested in. These matter too. I am really interested in the grain variety and specifically how you prep, cook, and absolutely anything you do after. Don’t skip the cultural details that you might otherwise presume everyone does. Do you know why some brand or region produces better ingredients, say so. I know it seems simple and mundane but it really is not. I want to master your rice as you make it in your culture. Please tell me how.
So, how do you do rice?
I love rice! My perfect rice is long grain jasmine cooked slightly al dente. I rinse it several times and then use a rice cooker with slightly less water than the lines indicate. Let it sit a few minutes before fluffing it.
Do you notice a slightly nutty flavor with this technique?
Not that I noticed, only the texture and aroma of the rice.
