I usually pour some of the fat rendered out of my meat into my rice.

The southern US way is to season the water with a lot of salt and add a little butter. Damn, I could go for some cube steak and pan gravy over buttered rice right now.

Take a cup of rice, rinse it and set it aside in a bowl.
Now take some potatoes and dice em into cubes. Add your favourite veggie seasoning, a little olive oil and roast them in the oven on somw parchment paper.
Grab some chicken breast and take out a saucepan. Your gonna wanna sear it just the way you like with a some butter. Save the juices in the pan and add some stir fry vegetable mix, you can leave it plain but I like to season it too.
By now your potatoes should have finished. So grab that put the oven and toss it on plate. Add your chicken and stir fry too.
Now your gonna take the bowl of rice you set aside for later and throw that in the trash.

[Anonymous No.17977564]

I'm sure rice cookers are fine.. but I've never had the need for one. If you can't figure out how to make rice by about the 4th or 5th time making it you're probably low IQ and would greatly benefit from one. You literally boil water, dump in rice, throw a lid on and walk away for 20 minutes.

It's like a significant portion of humans can't make adjustments to their routines or perform basic analysis and troubleshooting.

If it's mushy, too much water.
If it's hard, too little water or not enough cook time.
If it's burnt on the bottom or stuck to the pan your heat was too high.

There are a really only a few elements to adjust.. water to rice ratio, heat, and time.

I take it all back. Thinking this through, I've convinced myself rice cookers are for retards. Get good, stupids.

You asian? They only know how to cook rice in a rice cooker. They use their finger and it's a big deal. Anyway. 1 to 2 ratio of rice to water. For simplicity's sake, put 2 cups of water in your pot, kick up the heat and put a lid on it. When it comes to a full boil, put your rice in and cover it immediately. Then bring it down to a simmer (the lowest setting on your burner) and in about 10 minutes it should be good to go.

You need to add a whole lot of onion in there as it's boiling, pepper, salt at the end as it's losing heat a spoon of oil.
Don't fry the rice, that's for third worlders.
You flake some juicy BBQ chicken in it when it's warm not hot, add some sauce sweet or spicy on top, do not stir and it's ready.

Rice is a starch, it carries flavor. My recommendation is add a small amount of soy sauce, then top with shredded nori, kewpie mayo, and some quick pickles or other small vegetables you have on hand
