Cooking Rice

If you are using 300mls of rice then use 900mls of water. Let the rice boil for 5 minutes then turn it down to simmer, once you see that there isn't much water above the rice, turn it off and let it sit. The rest of the water will be absorbed into the rice. Also add a stock cube for extra flavor. Been cooking it this way for years and never had rice stick to the bottom of the pan and it is always cooked through.

A friend recommended getting the water to boil then adding a bit of butter/margarine before adding the rice. It makes the resulting rice slightly creamy and less inclined to stick to the pan.

Tip off my daughter...

My daughter used the above method yesterday to make rice to go with her fish curry when I came home from work & the rice was absolutely delicious.

I always make a mess when cooking rice but my mate is African and always cooks me bulk loads when she comes.If it's only me eating I just use the microwave rice.
