One thing that I've always had trouble with has been cooking rice - rice and making coffee.
For the longest time, I could do French pastry, but I couldn't make myself a cup of coffee
and every time I tried to do rice, it was an absolute disaster but I finally figured
it out. All you need to know is that, for brown rice (I'm doing brown rice today): a
cup. Then I'm going to add two and a half cups, so two and a half. Now, a lot of times
you'll see on a package, it says you need to rinse the rice and if it says to, or if
you want to get rid of some of the excess starch, just put it in a bowl, run your hands
through it a few times and that'll get rid of the excess starch. And then, just a bit
of salt. This is going to go on the stove, I'm going to bring it up to a boil, and when
it starts boiling, I'm going to put the lid on, reduce it to low, and let it simmer for
25 to 35 minutes. Now, I've run my fork through it and you can see after 25 minutes, the rice
gets nice and fluffy like this. Now, this isn't actually just a standard brown rice,
it's a brown basmati rice because my next dish I'm going to be doing is a curry, so
I want it to go along with an Indian rice, to pair it with. So I'm just going to transfer
this to a plate and we're going to be ready to go with our curry.
