How can i cook a rice?
Here's a simple method for cooking rice on the stove: Ingredients: 1 cup of rice 2 cups of water Salt (optional) Instructions: Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. This will remove any excess starch and dirt. In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt (if using). Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, and cover the saucepan with the lid. Simmer the rice for 18-20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the rice to steam and become fluffier. Use a fork to fluff the rice and serve. Note: The cooking time and water to rice ratio may vary depending on the type of rice you're using, so be sure to follow the package instructions if they differ from these instructions.
How to keep rice from getting mushi?
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.

How can you use the effects of the salt in the temperature of the boiling water when you cooking?
Adding salt to water increases the boiling temperature of the water. Therefore a pot of salted water will take longer to reach its boil than the same size pot of plain water. So why do we do it? Because the higher boiling point means an increase in the temperature of the water which increases cooking temperature and thereby decreases cooking time.

The rice keeps the salt dry and prevents it from clumping up. It keeps it dry by absorbing humidity (moisture) in the air. Caution!
