How to keep rice from getting mushi?

Answer 1

If your rice is getting mushy then you are using too much water to cook with. When I make rice, I rinse my rice with hot water first and then add just enough water to cover my hand when pressed on the top of the rice while in the pot. Adding about 2 tablespoons of oil will keep it from sticking to the pot. Use a heavy pot and add a little salt. Once your rice has come to a boil, turn it down to finish cooking and stir occasionally.
