Hey guys, I have a question:

After a family recipe, I added a bouillon cube to boiling water with salt, and cooked my rice in that mixture. It's supposed to make the rice tastier.

I was wondering if the water in which the rice was boiled is okay to drink? I mean, I tasted it and due to the broth(and some onions I popped in) it tastes pretty good even with the ricey taste. Would be a waste to throw away. But is it bad for you to do so?
Thanks in advance.

If you have leftover water from cooking rice you are doing it wrong, son

you still have water left over from cooking rice? why?

I cook my rice with a buttload of water and throw out the remainder. How else would you do it? How much water to how much rice makes for good rice?

Pretty much a horrid cook here. So I'd like any and all opinions.

use your wits, op. It's a mixture of water, rice, bullion and salt. All of this is edible(/drinkable) and none is poisonous.
>ricey taste
rice has no taste.

Fucking this. Of course it's safe to eat, OP.

You're probably the only person in the world who does this. You need to use less water. It should be completely absorbed by the rice when it cooks. A common rule of thumb is to use 1.5 cups of water per 1 cup of rice, or to put the rice into the pot, then pour in water until the rice is covered by water by about 1 cm (the thickness of your finger). The exact amount of water required depends on the type of rice.

use a 2-1 ratio. twice as much water as rice, bring to the boil, cover, then reduce heat to a low simmer. The rice should be wet, but you should have no extra liquid left by the time your rice is done.

or, just do it in the microwave, same ratio, 10 mins per cup of uncooked rice as a base time, then test for doneness.

Reals? You cant figure THIS out?

But yes you can eat the remaining water, he'll you could even reduce it and use it for a soup I guess, starch should thicken it.

>Are all these things that are edible edible
Well gee I dunno, there's some crazy gook magic that goes down once the rice cooks. Of course it's fucking fine.

But more importantly
>Water left over after you cook the rice
You're doing it wrong.
