List of Ingredients




2 cups of rice you would use 3 cups of water



Recipe



Always use long grain rice - short grain rice is used only for desserts and snacks in Chinese cooking.
Rinse the rice in water to get rid of excess starch.
Use 1 cup rice to 1 1/2 cups water. For example, when cooking 2 cups of rice you would use 3 cups of water.
Bring the rice to a boil at medium heat (about 4 on the dial).
When boiling, turn the heat down to medium low (about 3) and tilt the lid on the pot. This allows the steam to escape.
Let the water evaporate. When you can see craters (holes) in the rice, put the lid on tight.
Turn the heat to low, and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Fluff up the rice, and serve.
