How do you make steamed rice?

Answer 1

Koreans typically use a rice cooker which works great. It can cook a potfull of rice in less than thirty minutes and can be bought at a local Asian store. Start by putting some rice in the pot and washing it three times with water. Drain the water then fill the pot with a fresh set of water that fits the amount used for how much rice you put (if you cook some measures of rice with too much water it'll be too wet and watery, cook it with not enough water will lead to dryer rice)...next place, the pot, which now consists of rice and water, in the rice cooker and press "cook". Once done cooking, the cooker will automatically switch to "warm", which means it stops cooking but just keeps the rice warm. open the cooker and stir the rice...this prevents it from getting sticky and becoming a glob instead of fluffy.. you don't have to eat all the rice in the pot in one day...it wont' spoil...rice in the pot kept at "warm" can last two to three days...good luck :)
