bring to boil, cover, then turn off heat

you are either white or you didn't use enough water

>>13914877
Dunno. You tell me.

>didn't use enough water
>OP clearly states it boiled over
God damn you shitskins are stupid

That’s funny I burnt rice tonight too kike a half hour ago. Top layer was tasty tho

>>13914877
The way I do it is if I cook 2 cups, I put in 2 cups of water and put it on quick rice

Don't measure the water

Just put a LOT of water in, then your rice, when the rice is tender and ready to eat strain it out like you do pasta and serve

>>13914895
Its called Tadik, and its really good.

>>13914906
You sound like a man who has given up on life. Or a person who should be kept away from rice.

>>13914906
you lose the rice's nutrients this way

I don't wash the starch off of rice, not sure why you would want to honestly

Wait why do you guys wash rice beyond 1 rinse?

>>13914935
>>13914937
Short grain rice has a ton starch on the surface so you'll get it really sticky. High end Japanese rice cookers even have a Rinse-free for if you don't want to wash the rice. Longer ones like basmati or jasmine don't really need it.

>>13914895

>kike

Pol please..

>boils over
>burns
You're using too much water.

>>13914883
>not enough water
Wrong.

>>13914946
but I like my rice to be sticky, makes it easier to ball up into shapes

Lower the heat before it boils over brah

High heat until it comes to a boil

Let it boil until the starchy bubbles almost comes to the top of the lid

Put it to the lowest heat setting and leave it for like 15 to 20 minute

That is it

>>13914906
He says he's using a rice cooker you dingus

>>13914966
It should still be plenty sticky without

It also gets rice cookers much dirtier.

>>13914937
Depends on the dish really.

I can't tell if you're getting trolled here or if everyone's just really dumb.
Leave the lid ajar or it'll boil over no matter what. It's just like pasta, potatoes or anything else starchy.

>>13914935
if you want fluffy rice you should do it

also if you want to cook fried rice later as the less sticky it is the better

>>13914877
Your rice cooker is dog shit. Get a better one. You should still overestimate the amount of water you need, though. Overcooked rice is better than undercooked.

>>13914877
Don't cover your pot right after putting the rice in. Let it come to a soft boil slowly, uncovered, stir it occasionally. Then after a couple minutes cover and put on the lowest heat.

>>13914877
2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice

>>13915342
>>13915470
he specifically says rice cooker in the OP you fucking retards

>>13915772
Wasn't it the other way around?

>rinse rice

Just skip this step then try it again.

>>13914877
You dont wash it that many times. Use 2 cups rice and 3 cups water.

>>13914877
Did you try to cook too much rice? That’s the only way it could “boil over” in a rice cooker

>>13915772
this, it's just 2:1 and when the water is just about to run out, it's finished

>>13914877
wash rice three times. five or six is absolutely too much

You got to wash it at least 10 time anon

If I wash the rice I normally put Less water. Like yesterday I cooked ~2/3-3/4 cup of rice and then put one cup of water in.

>not just using a fucking rice cooker
Pic related, it's an antique

>>13914877
Do you have a cheap one or a fuzzy logic one? Got a cheap one and it will spew if I try to make too much.

>>boils over
>>burns
>what the FUCK? it's fucking RICE how do I fuck up RICE??
A lot of these so-called rice cookers are just the cheapest of appliances. $14 pieces of shit.

When I cook rice on the stove, a continuous high heat and using a pot too small for the quantity will be the issue. So, I use nonstick and a 2-3qt glass lidded saucepan, and it's foolproof. If you cook rice often to match the ethnicity of the meal just right from valencia short grain to aged basmati, just buy a glass lidded nonstick and thank yourself later at the ease of cleanup. Stop with the damn rice pot unless you are leaving your kitchen for long periods, like naps or trips to the store. If you're home, just monitor it. I wouldn't want a rice cooker ever again unless I had multiple children coming in at various times of the day and night, just for the keep warm function. Big deal to rewarm something 30 seconds in the microwave though.

I have about 9 varieties of rice right now in my pantry, and they get their own little tweak , but most of the time it's a 2:1 ratio, minus a scant amount of that water, because I know my lid is pretty tight fitting and there is minimal steam lost, and I'm using the right size pot for the job, with has a nice airspace for the steam to collect and then reabsorb later.
2 qt pan, 1 cup of rice, 1.78 cups of water, just shy of the exact amount of rice. Use the same measuring cup for measuring either item, dry rice first, dump in pot, fill with water, dump, fill again with water, pour out a smidge, dump. Salt, optional.
Once the liquid is added, though, bring to boil, the moment it's boiling (don't delay and let it boil over, just when it starts), uncover, stir (aka lifting up grains from bottom in a systematic scraping zigzagmotion), recover, lowest heat, set timer for 20 mins. Turn off burner at 20 mins but do not disturb lid for another 10 minutes. A thick pot will keep rice warm ~45mins or more.

>also if you want to cook fried rice later as the less sticky it is the better
It's the starchy sugars that aids browning so nicely.

>>13914877
you have the heat too high
bring to a soft boil, not a rolling boil
then cover and leave on very low

>>13916505
depends entirely on the rice, you should rinse until the water is mostly clear. Doesn't matter how many times you have to rinse for that to happen.

>>13914877
I just boil it in water. Works for me bro

>>13914906
Worst post on this board 2020.

>>13914906
this is how you're supposed to do it, I don't get the hate

Theres only two reasons here:

1. You used the incorrect amount of water
2. Your rice cooker sucks

theres no other explanation.

>>13914877
I never wash my rice, I just add 2x as much water as rice (by volume) and add to boiling water, simple as that, also stir it obviously.

>>13914877
gittu guddo, baka gaijin

>>13914877
Just use Uncle Ben's boil in a bag rice

>>13914877
For 1 cup of rice use 1 cup of water. To cook it on the stove cover the pot and turn the burner on. Put it to medium low, closer to low. It’ll come to a simmer in a couple minutes just leave it alone. Around the ten minute mark check to see if there’s any water (no bubbles mainly) then turn off the burner and place it away from the burner you used. Fluff the rice and let it sit covered for another couple minutes

>>13916605
that's how you end up with soggy rice

>>13914877
holy shit anon just use your finger this has to be bait

god damn you alcohol...

>>13914877
shit rice cooker, get a better one or learn to use a pot

>>13915957
He never said he cooked it in a rice cooker.
Moron.

>>13914919
OP already rinsed his rice like 20 times

>>13918469
lmao no, that's not how it works at all

>>13918767
shuuuuure white boy

So we all agree is con con right

>>13914919
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE DELICIOUS ARSENIC

>>13914906
This method literally always resulted in better rice for me. When I cook it in the rice cooker it gets extremely lumpy and of course it develops a crust along the bottom which is just awful. I feel a bit bad about not using the rice cooker however as it was given to me as a gift.

>>13914877
>rice cooker
>boils over
What the fuck this is literally homer simpson cereal on fire tier retardation

>>13914877
Washed rice has some water clinging to it.
You are not accounting for this water already present when you add more water.
Solution:
>weigh the dry rice
>wash the rice
>weigh the washed rice and note the increase in weight vs. dry.
>decrease the water you add by this amount.

the amount of water required varies with different kind of rice
the best way is to trail and error until you find the exact ratio, then stick to it

>>13920058
If you drain the rice in a colander the difference shouldn't be more than a couple spoonfuls. I doubt that would make much of a difference

>>13920166
About 1/4 cup of water weight will remain after washing a cup of rice in a sieve.

>>13914915
haha white peepo potty, he’s so angry his wife painted his toe nails, so cute. I wonder is she’s gotta black eye

>>13914877
I don't ever measure the water and I've made rice on the stove top for years. Rinse and wash till clear. Add water until the level reaches the same line as the rice, then using your middle finger add enough to reach your first knuckle.
Thats how my mom taught me and her step mom from Okinawa taught it to her.
Try to make the rice even when your using the knuckle measurement.
If your doing it on a stove top add a dash of oil and mix it in well. Make sure your not opening the lid for at least 10 minutes so the steam absorbs into the rice completely.

>Place tip of index finger pointing straight down on top of the pile of rice
>Fill water up to the first knuckle crease on the finger
>Perfect rice every time
It's not that hard.

>>13914877
The way my family does it is add half a cup of water more than rice (typically, we make 2.5 cups for dinner, meaning it gets 3 cups of water). I dunno what the package instructions are (if they are the same), but this method has worked for the past 28 years. Also, if you use a rice cooker with a built in keep-warm function, unplug it when the timer pops. Then let it sit for about 10m, mix it, and serve from there. Furthermore, if you want to go the extra mile, you can let the washed rice sit for about 15m before turning on the cooker.

>>13914915
>>13914906
Thats porridge you retard.

>>13920256
Are you me?

>>13920203
I find that hard to believe. Maybe i'll give it a test sometime.

I never account for rinsing water and i haven't had problems to date.

>>13920248
The obvious inconsistency with this method is that the wider the pot, the more water you need to add to get it up to your first knuckle.

1.5 cuips of water for every 1 cup of rice put in rice cooker it goes brrr perfect rice everytime

literal children can cook rice in a rice cooker how can stupid fucks like op be a thing?

>>13914894
It can still boil over if you dont use enough water, you dumb cunt. Takes time for the rice to absorb it.

>>13914894
If you don't use enough water the starch makes the water that is there foam up more aggressively and spill over, same happens with pasta

>>13914919
Where do they go?

>>13918118
>60g salt for 5 cups of rice
>A mountain of sweetener
Insane.

Here's my seasoning for 2 cups of rice and even I find it too sweet at times :
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 Tbsp mirin
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp sea salt, cut that in half for himalayan

>>13914877
>Boils over
>Burns
Both symptoms of too much heat and not being attentive
Fuck the retarded 'don't take the lid off' rule, obviously you don't want all the heat to escape but a quick peak isn't going to hurt anything
Also practice, fag. you sound like a noob
Try different brands/methods

>>13914877

-Add washed rice to a a hot straight-edged pan containing a little oil or butter
-Toast it until it turns white/less transluscent, add seasoning
-Cover in BOILING water, until it covers the washed rice's surface by ~1 inch. The quantity of rice doesn't matter, as the rate of evaporation will always be the same.
-Cover with a lid and wait
-Use a spatula to gently move a small portion of rice to the side. If you see the water is almost gone, remove the lid and turn off the heat. Let it vent off the remaining water vapour and serve.

10/10 perfect rice every time.

>>13914906
this, but still you have to
>wash rice 5 or 6 times until the water runs clear
>boil without lid.

>>13914919
you mean the starch. and looks like you have no idea what nutrients are. anyway rice is shitskins food and should be allowed only in china and india.

It's actually impossible to cook rice.

>>13920353
>benis interrupted.

>>13914877
You might have a shit rice cooker. Buy a tiger

>>13914877
Bro, asian here. A good ratio is 2:1 water and rice. Give that a try if you havent already. Bring to boil then turn down and leave until water has been absorbed.

>>13914877
>yanguizi thread

>>13914877
>dump rice into cheap Chinese rice cooker without washing it at all
>eyeball how much water to add
>turn it on and walk away
>perfect every time
wa la

No but seriously, how are you fucking this up
And washing rice is a waste of time

>>13914877
>follow the instructions on the packet
>good result every single time
how retarded do you have to be to fuck up rice?

>>13914877
>rice cooker
For what purpose? You know you can cook rice in a POT right?

>>13919937
>When I cook it in the rice cooker
That's a useless meme device that should be thrown out.

It's browning because it's too hot. Use a pot with lid, bring to boil, then lower heat to like 3. Voila, no more brown bottom.

Seriously rice cookers suck

For years I tried rinsing, not rinsing, stirring, not stirring, leave on heat, take right off, cover, uncover, wide pot, shallow pot, rice cookers, etc
then I got an insta-soi pot pressure cooker as gift and it makes perfect rice every time desu

https://youtu.be/9Qe-7tuMOIY

Been doing this for years. Rice is fucking easy.

>wash rice
Never knew this was a thing, is rice dirty or something?

>>13923821
Yes
