How to Boil Rice Well

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Fill a large porcelain-lined kettle with water and bring it to a boil.

  2. Once boiling, add the washed rice and boil rapidly for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

  3. Add salt to taste.

  4. Test the rice by biting into it; when soft, remove from heat and drain off the water.

  5. Place the rice in a colander to drain until completely dry.

  6. Serve the rice and curry separately, placing rice first on each plate and topping with curry.
