>>16225565
Yeah I rinse it in a strainer a little bit before I put it in the rice cooker so it doesn't boil over.

Yes

AvE told me to and I trust him.

>>16225565
No, I like sticky rice

I noticed absolutely no difference washing or not
maybe I don't have shitty chinese bootleg rice, or asians are retarded because they really really care about this for some reason

>>16225631
Post the rice you buy
>>16225602
You can get sticky rice even when it's been washed

>>16225565
no i love arsenic in my rice

The hot water in the pot circulates the molecules past a certain point, causing friction. In essence, it washes itself. So yes.

Three times usually.
Bowl technique.

in america we don't have bugs and maggots in our rice so we don't need to do this

>>16225668
based nitpicker

>>16225668
That's not the point of washing it. You don't wash it because it's dirty, you wash it to get the excess starch off.

>>16225668
>[Pushes glasses up] Aktishoalee, the hot water in the pot circulates the molecules past a certain point, causing friction. [Snort] For you low-iq individuals, that means it washes itself. So yes. If you watched Rick and Morty like me, you might gain a fraction of an IQ point and be intelligent enough to comprehend my advanced lexicon.

>>16225718
Starch atoms cannot exist past a certain heat spectrum.

>>16225565
Japonica rice
Wash
Wash the rice by rubbing together the vegetable oils and fats present on the surface of the rice as they oxidize and produce an unpleasant odor.

Basmati, Jasmine
Wash off only the surface dust
Less oil and grease than japonica rice, so no need to scrub together
Also, do not over-wash to preserve the unique aroma.

>>16225733
>actishoalee, on an atomic level, Starch atoms cannot exist past a certain spectrum of heat, atomically. Maybe if your IQ wasn't so low, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

>>16225631
what type of rice do you buy? because usually the western grown ones have been prewashed for you.

>>16225565
Depends on the rice. If you're making Japanese or Korean short grain rice, then washing it is basically mandatory, or you'll end up with wallpaper paste.

For long grain varieties it doesn't really make enough of a difference for me to bother.

>>16225733
Yes? What does that have to do with washing in cold water?

>>16225565
Yes, and you don't wash it in the rice cooker like op photo, you will damage the coating

>>16225718
Silly westerner fell for the excess starch meme

>>16225959
I mean, you can buy no-wash verities, but even then most Japanese people will wash them anyway.
Especially older people.

>>16225565
I soak it to actually activate it anon, get the times.

>>16225962
MUSENMAI tastes bad if it's not fresh.
And even after you buy it, it gets drier and dumber.

I buy pre-cooked rice.

>>16225565
Jap here. Yes. Rinse your rice.

My asian ex told me to wash rice and I assume she knows more about rice than me.

>>16226340
thanks ping ping

>>16225656
>>16225778
Great Value

>>16226536

>>16225565
no
should I?

yes, also I soak it half an hour (usually while I am preparing other things

You wash rice because it sits around in warehouses for a long time before being sold.

>>16225565
Depends on what I'm making

>>16225565
Wash with soap or detergents, then no. But I do rinse 6x

>>16225565
no. boil in ample water and drain, simple as that.

>>16226854
>and drain
if there is water left over after cooking your rice, you cooked it wrong.

>>16226871
Ching chong bing bong
Fold rice over one million times

2:1 water-rice ratio. Boil 12 mins on low, wait another 12 mins with lid on.
you're welcome

>>16226876
>i'm retarded and can't cook
cool story bro

>>16226871
read again baka, you boil in AMPLE water then drain, as you would pasta.

>>16226854
>drain
lmfao whites are braindead

>>16226889
Like I said, if you're draining ANY water from your rice, you've already fucked up.

>>16226894
give ONE reason

>>16226888
trips confirm it


>>16226898
Rice is a steamed grain, not a boiled grain

If you're boiling your rice and straining, it never steamed.

>>16225565
Yeah, it removes both arsenic and excess starch off of it. After that I always fry it up in olive oil with sauteed onion and bay leaf in a pan so it can develop the proper fragrances

>>16226901
you just said it over again without giving a reason

>>16226917
...are you retarded?

Are boiling and steaming somehow the same in your retarded-ass mind?

>>16226901
I want it boiled

>>16226919
if they are not the same then you should have no problem giving ONE reason why one is better than the other

>>16225565
Sometimes i do. Sometimes I don't.

>>16226921
Then you don't like good rice, simple as.

I swear, this is the average person who says rice cookers don't do anything useful.

You don't care about your rice, and it shows.

>>16226924
Try it with Japanese rice, boiled rice = starchy glue paste
Steamed rice = fluffy sweet soft grains

The only rice I've seen boiled that came out decently was dirt cheap walmart American long-grain, and maybe basmati.

>>16226941
fair enough but I don't buy AUTHENTIC RUSTIC BEAUTIFUL nippon rice, the cheap stuff is good enough for >99% of applications like fried rice, side for chicken, side for steak etc.

I think these threads are made just to trigger people of Asian decent lmao

>>16225565
Yes I dump the whole bag into the washing machine and use hot water. Comes out clean and cooked.

I rinse it 5 times every time because there are weevils in my rice so I'm finishing this one and leave the bucket out the sun for a month before getting more rice.

>>16225565
Only sushi-type of rice.

White, basmati, jasmine, brown, parboiled, arborio... NO.

>>16225565
It does nothing but waste time, so no

>>16225718
>You don't wash it because it's dirty

I think you do. I think washing it is one last chance to wash off any pesticides that may have washed into the rice patty and onto the rice

>>16226892
South Asians are white?

>>16225565
for east-asian style dishes, yes
for risottos, basmati, south american style, no

>>16226892
Many people do that in the Middle East when preparing biryiany or however you call it.

Stop being ignorant.

I am a certified mutt chink nip who cooks rice on a daily and has tried all kinds of rice

When I don't wash the rice, I sometimes have a film of extra starch at the bottom of my rice cooker. It doesn't ruin taste or anything, but I prefer rice that is more regular in consistency.

>rinse rice with cold water until the water is clear

>>16228866
You shouldn't thermal shock your rice anyway, at least with Japanese rice.

You want to wash with cool not cold water. And then allow it to presoak at room temp for 45 minutes. Then preferably use a rice cooker that slowly brings it up to temp and has an extended steam.

Brings out much better flavor

>>16226536

>>16225565
I buy pic related, rice you aren't supposed to wash, but I wash it anyway. Yolo.

white rice has vitamins added to it as a powder that coats it. by rinsing white rice you're basically causing yourself to be malnourished.

>>16228920
What if I want rice that takes less than an hour to cook?

>>16229051
Idk I've been using a good rice cooker for 12 years now.

When white people cook rice it tastes like ass.
>start with shit rice, litterally the rice we reject
>don't rinse it, not even once
>boil the fuck out of this rice
>try to drain their congeee

This is also why white people can't fry rice, if it's starchy and overcooked it will never crisp, it just turns into glue.
And don't even ask about steamed rice, sticky rice, zhouzi or roast rice- forget it.

I don't wash my rice, I activate it.

>>16229566
Yawn

>>16229566
To be fair I've seen Asians completely lost on how to cook rice without their rice cooker. You're right about them choosing the right brand though and not some walmart shit.

I rinse it 2 or 3 times in a bowl until the water is clear

It improves texture after its cooked.

>>16225565
Yes

>>16225584

>>16225659

This. It all depends on the rice. You pretty much always wash Japanese rice.

>>16229631

why do people make this thread every week since 2013. i swear this board is just ai posting from a pool of premade threads.

I always do but once I did there were little black bugs inside with the water. Shit was gross

>>16229680
whats your point that means there were bugs living in the bag of rice. are you trying to claim thats because you washed the rice?

>>16225685
It's for washing off the chemicals that are used against those

>>16225733
starch is not an atom, you absolute retard. it's a molecule
god, this board is the epitomy of the Dunning-Kruger effect

Well, the bags literally say NOT TO rinse it, so no.

>>16225659
Washing does not help that much, you have to boil it in a lot of water.

>>16229657
All 3 of the "big" ones in japan are all pretty much neck and neck.

Panasonic, Tiger, Zojirushi.

>>16231374
If your bag of rice says don't rinse, it's because it's such shitty rice, they added vitamins and shit to it to make it better for poor people that can't afford a proper diet.

>>16229657
Six companies.
Zojirushi, Tiger, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Toshiba

All of them have more than 50 years of history and compete with each other.

>>16225718
>you wash it to get the excess starch off.
Then entire rice grain is starch, you literal fucking retard.

>>16231590
Yes, and after milling those grains tend to be covered in starch DUST, which gives a starchy film to your rice, or can cause clumping or other issues (clogging up rice cooker gaskets)

>>16231570
>no cuckoo
do some research weebfaggot

>>16231628
We're talking about japanese companies.

Cuckcoo is fine, but unless you need the 220/240v or you happen to speak korean and want to use the korean specific features, you're generally better off with one of the Japanese brands.

Yes because I'm cheap and buy great value rice in bulk and pressure cook it and if you don't rinse the starch dust off you'll end up with a blob of paste.

>>16231495
K...

Nah. I do it 'Indian style' where I boil it like pasta

>>16225733
>Starch atoms

Why do asians and weebs get so angry when you boil rice? Whenever I prepare curry I boil rice like I do pasta, because it helps the rice grains separate like how it comes when you order rice from the indian restaurants. There's more to rice preparation that shoving it in your rice cookers and larping as japanese people you fucking cooklets.

>>16233672
There are no Asians and weebs who mistake long grain for short grain.
If you only want to eat the long grain, boiling is the best way.
However, if you cook rice every day, it can be a pain.

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

>>16225565
No, it gets plenty sticky without washing so I see no reason to wash it.

>>16225565
I read about "plastic rice" mixed with the normal rice... Is there a method to wash them out..?

>>16235740
where the fuck do you live that you need to worry about that?
as for your question, maybe the plastic rice floats but real rice grains don't? so that could be a way to separate them

>>16225565
I'd wash your rice, if you get what I mean.

>>16228920
>nooo you have to slowly bring it up to temperature or you won't get the umami mouthfeel

Considering the chemical transformation of starch into carbohydrates, it's better to increase the temperature slowly.
However, if you take too much time, it will become soggy.

>>16235882
I gave yo mami a mouthfeel of me last night

>>16231847
this is literally the only place I can get a break from the chinese shills that infest the internet t. schizo

No, I like fortified rice. Why would I want subpar nutrients like in japan?

>>16236348
It's difficult communicating with someone who has a rudimentary grasp of english, Deng. How many years of shitposting do you have left before they'll let you see your wife and kid again?

>>16225565
I rinse Japonica rice to remove powdered starch, avoids slimyness

>>16225565
I buy mine from the savage mart half their rice products aren't even bagged and the crop date is always sketch. So yes, I don't trust that enriched argument either.

>>16226099
You joke but soaking aromatic rice like jasmine is not a bad idea, it shortens cooking time and preserves the unique aroma more. Go about a half hour before you put it in the cooker.

>>16226642
It's a good idea to give it at least a rinse or two, it's an agricultural product after all.

When I'm steaming it, yes, when making a risotto, no. Could be a meme though, I never actually tried swtiching the methods to see a difference. Also, I'm not mega-autistic when I wash it, I stop when the water is noticably clearer, but not like crystal clear, I don't have time for that.
