Salaric Cooking

For every cup of rice, use 1-1/2 to 2 cups of water (less if the rice is washed first). You’ll need to experiment a little to find the amount you like best, but in general, use the larger amount for long-grain rice, the lesser for medium and short. Keep in mind that more water gives you softer, stickier rice–great for stir-fries. Less water will keep the grains more separate and result in firmer rice, a good style for rice salads Bring to the boil Put lid on Put on minimum heat, simmer for 12 minutes until all water gone. Do not stir. Then take off heat and leave for at least ten minutes.
