How to Boil Rice Well
Ingredients
Directions
Fill a large porcelain-lined kettle with water and bring it to a boil.
Once boiling, add the washed rice and boil rapidly for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Add salt to taste.
Test the rice by biting into it; when soft, remove from heat and drain off the water.
Place the rice in a colander to drain until completely dry.
Serve the rice and curry separately, placing rice first on each plate and topping with curry.
