What's the deal with Asian people and rinsing rice until the water runs clear? Like I've tried to do that shit and it takes forever and never runs clear. Like I'm hungry I don't give a shit about some starch on the rice

Anon that is starch. If you want your rice less sticky, wash it thoroughly and choose the right kind. If you want your rice more sticky, do not rinse and pick the right kind.

Not asian but it has to depend on the variety of rice.

Longstory short, starch in grains is composed of different types of starch. The most common types of "starch" are amylose and amylopectin.

Amylose is mostly a chain of sugars and because of that, it is very solluble in water. Amylopecting on the other side more solid.

The type of starch is also important on ther grains, like wheat wheter it is good for pasta or baked bread.

Also, take into account if the rice comes parboiled, as that one was already washed at the factory.

They wash the rice to achieve a different rice texture, but if you parboil the rice with the husk, you can transfer some husk minerals to the rice.

Jesus Christ reddit. You only have to hit enter once here. Don't lie and say that's proper paragraphing; it's just annoying page-stretching.

Chinks wash their rice for the same reason they only drink boiled water. it’s usually covered in poison and AIDS from the chink factory it comes from

His post is not Reddit. He double-broke his lines to create a cadence reflecting spoken word, somewhat like a poem. Why do that, you ask? Well, it modifies the tone of the post to help you (the reader) retain information.

Now compare my last paragraph to this next one to see the difference:

We remember spoken words better than written words, and line fatigue while reading can cause mental skips, diluting the message.

I prefer line breaks for infodumps, personally.

No, it doesn't. I can read a book. I disdain my eyeballs having to bounce all over the screen. It is not a poem for you to abuse your enter key because you have a short attention span and use it as a fidget spinner. I don't "hear" disjointed words you adhd-ridden weirdos.

Listen, it's a preference. All three of us are right, anon, no one is wrong. But I have some homework for you that might change your opinion of the relationship between 4chan and reddit:

Go look up 4chan screencaps from before reddit's inception. You'll find "reddit spacing" all over them after five minutes. If you can't look up screencaps, then ask around on /r/, and maybe someone will drop their 4chan folders.

If you rinse it a little it stops the rice becoming a sticky glue like mass

Doesn't have to be clear but it should be rinsed if it's really cloudy

rice is 100% starch
it used to be you wash the dirt and worm eggs off it
today it's washing the chemicals
either way if you live in a white country, you don't have to wash it, that's done in the factory
you might have to remove little stones and stuff if you live in eastern europe tho, and are buying the cheapest stuff

my experience with southern Chinese people is that they just don't do it. but to wash your rice, just bring it near a boil then add more water, stir, and empty. now it's clean and clear.

i think that there is special sticky sushi rice for that, and the stickiness desired is not from the stuff you rinse out of the rice, because sushi rice is also rinsed/washed, actually washing sushi rice is like more intense them most rice washing

i think using the term "glue" is best for what im talking about

just cook your rice exactly like pasta
>no need to wash it
>no need to guess the correct water/rice ratio
>excess starch goes in the water, which gets drained in the sink
>perfect doneness every time, just taste a few grains until it reaches the preferred texture
