How do I cook rice?

[Anonymous No.14777448]

I know how to cook basmati rice (rice:water = 1:1.2) because I grew up with it. Now I'm trying to make Japonica (nishiki) rice and honestly I'm just lost thanks to online contradictions
>1:2
>1:1.5
>1.5:2
>1:1+2tbsp
What the fuck is the water ratio so this shit isn't gloopy or dry? I just want nice, fluffy, plain rice. And don't even start with "just use your finger" - fingers are different lengths and rice cookers are different sizes so that's bullshit, especially with only 1 cup of rice.

Dude do you not realize that rice has big amounts of arsenic in it?
I wouldn't eat that shit!
However if you must you have to soak it beforehand to remove 1/3 of the arsenic
You could actually die from eating rice too liberally y'know
Just eat some quinoa or couscous or something
Heavy metals dude.

dude if your rice is wet just leave it there on the stove and let it simmer until the water evaporates

I basically figured this out via trial and error ages ago.

Wash rice 3-5 times
1.1 parts water per part rice by volume
High heat until it starts to boil, then turn the heat all the way down.
Let cook 10 minutes.
Take off the stove and let steam 10 more minutes.
Done.

Have never had this fail in 10+ years, and I have weeb rice at least once or twice a week. I've made this for actual Japanese people and they seemed impressed, too, although I think that's mostly because making rice without a rice cooker is some sort of lost art over there.

This, there isn't a single gook, chink or jap that doesn't own a rice cooker. Only white people make rice in a pot like a retard

Wash 5 times (cold water), season the rice (salt, pepper, optionally cardamom, star anise), add 1:1.5 rice to water, lid on, bring to boil, lower to gentle simmer, leave for 13 minutes, then turn off completely and let sit covered for a couple of minutes.
This is the way I have learned to make really nice rice even from cheapest garbage rice. But then again, I’m from central Europe and we eat rice one per 10 years and if it isn’t fucking raw in the middle it’s already better than 99% of rice made here.

I’m not buying a single tasker to cook rice I eat once per 10 years. Rice is disgusting anyway, insect food

[Anonymous No.14777961]

stovetop rice. fuck the rice cookers. get a medium size pot with a fitting lid.
wash your rice in cold water until it runs off clear.
for short grain rice use the ratio 1 cup of rice to 1 and a quarter cups of water. combine in the pot. set on max heat uncovered. when it just begins to simmer, put the lid on and drop the heat to about 2 out of 10 and set a timer for 20 minutes. after the timer goes off, turn the heat off and set a timer for 10 minutes. do not remove the lid until the second timer is up.
after the timer goes off, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a paddle or a fork. chefs kiss

Even if the rice is the same breed, the amount of water, the time to soak in water and the way to wash differ depending on the storage condition.
If the dry texture, add a teaspoon of oil.

for most rices i just do a 1 to 2 ratio and cook it on low for 17 minutes. i check often for the last 4 minutes or so

>for most rices
That's not how you cook Japonica rice.

[Anonymous No.14778212]

>>14778191
most rices i have cooked i did this way and it turned out fine. ive never tried Japonica rice so i dont know. is that rice good? how do you actually cook that?

You need to add water to a rice cooker too

[Anonymous No.14778390]

The OP is talking about a japonica rice called Nishiki.
Change the moisture content from 1:1 to 1:3, depending on the variety and storage conditions.
After boiling, mix to prevent clumping, then adjust the heat without opening the lid.
From here, it's different for everyone, but for me, it's the sound and the amount of steam that confirms completion.

[Anonymous No.14778412]

Try letting it soak in the pot for 30 minutes before putting on heat.

Also get a rice cooker, its a useful tool that makes life so much easier, /ck/ is just fucking elitist as shit. Isn't a one time $100 payment for over a decade of convenience worth it?

Are you soaking the rice? I would recommend doing that.

[Anonymous No.14780176]

Rice cooker, I was a fool boiling rice for 2 years.

[Anonymous No.14780187]

soak for a minute or two
rinse until clear
1:1
bring to a boil
stir
lid
temperature to minimum for 20 min
rest 5 min
fluff
serve

Back in the day we would just try cooking several times until we perfected whatever we are trying to do.
Nowadays zoomers need 30 tutorials, reviews, ask 4chan, ask reddit, debate for weeks or months before even turning the stove on

That's a mistake.
First it's rinsed off to remove the oxidized odor from the surface.

get a japanese rice cooker and follow the measurements on the interior bowl

[Anonymous No.14781190]

Nishiki is 1:2 but I have an Aroma professional rice cooker and the two cup line on there makes it to absolute perfection. So you could reverse engineer that if you want exactsies.

[Anonymous No.14781208]

>>14778412
The true beauty of a cooker too is you can pretty much do all your prep and stovetop work for the dish while the cooker just chugs along making perfect rice automatically.

[Anonymous No.14781273]

>>14778220
Yah ...and it has lines on it, and comes with a measuring cup that us usually a 3/4 cup scoop. 1 scoop rice, fill to line 1 with water.
Get this...2 scoops? Line 2. I know, crazy.

If you're making some very specific kind of speciality rice that has really specific water requirements you'll figure it out after trying to make it once or twice, but most people arent.

I don't measure anything but the rice, just rinse it like 2-3x, then cover it with water+a bit, set it boiling until the water reaches the rice, set the heat low and cover for 15m, remove and let steam covered for five more minutes, then break it up so the steam escapes. always works for me
google adam liaw rice for visuals

I can perfectly visualize and feel how much water I need for something while I'm pouring it, I see and feel the tablespoon or 3/4 cup or whatever. NPCs must cope!
