So I am a HUGE Rice lover. I don't eat it very often, but when I do, my Stomach does a little happy dance.
A little while ago I made the MR. Red beans & rice, which is one of his favorite meals, and I came across a no fail way to make perfect rice, every time!
It's so easy.
Seriously, you'll be asking yourself, why hasn't anyone told me this before now!
I used Jasmine rice, so I'm not sure how this will work for brown rice, since it seems like brown rice takes a little longer to cook!

All you do is....
1. Bring a pan of water to a boil. I'll usually season my water with salt, pepper, garlic, and whatever other seasonings I'm in the mood for, or that will compliment the main course. I also had a small pad of butter.
2. After water comes to a boil, add in the rice. Stir CONTSTANTLY (while boiling) for 3 minutes.
3. Turn off the Heat, put on a cover, and leave on the burner.
4. DON'T TOUCH for 15-20 minutes.
5. Remove the lid, fluff with a Fork!
**update: I tried this out on brown rice and it worked out well! Just increase the amount of time that you boil & stir the rice (8 minutes or so) and let it set for a little longer! We also found that this works best with Jasmine rice! If you are using regular white rice I would recommend decreasing the amount of time that you let it boil (2 minutes) to keep it from getting too gummy)
I grew up eating rice every day...and still eat rice at minimum once a week, but I never learned to cook it in a pot! :P With eating rice every single day, and most people only have 2 burner stoves in Malaysia, everyone has a rice cooker! I thought they were totally normal till I came to the U.S. I have one, but I've had a lot of people ask me, "What is that?" :P I'm so used to the convenience of it! But if you don't eat rice all the time, it wouldn't really make sense to have an appliance solely for cooking rice.
