How do you prepare your rice?
Do you wash your rice before doing anything with it or do you pour it into the pot or rice cooker and leave it at that?

Fried.
Just a little, you don't want sticky rice for fried rice, grains must not stick together.

chop some pork belly (Bacon also works) or shrimps and spring onions and season them with oyster sauce and garlic

I never wash my rice. Should I? I always cook in a pot. If you use the right heat it's almost impossible to burn, so I don't see the point of a rice cooker.

Usually I cook vegetables and meat into the rice, like a biryani. I like to cook everything in the same pot so I don't get a lot of dishes dirty. First I fry the vegetables and meat in some oil in the pot. Then I add water and rice and boil until the rice is done.

you still have to put time and active effort into cooking rice in a pot. rice cookers take literally zero effort and you can be doing something else while the rice is cooking. this may just sound like an unnecessary convenience that you don't need if you're used to cooking it in a pot but it's a fucking game changer. plus you can get a cheap rice cooker for almost nothing. there's no reason not to own a rice cooker in some form.

yes
i have done washing and not washing, the only difference is a slightly whiter rice.
afterwards i just do the raw egg on steaming rice and add leftover chicken fat i always have from oven cooking chickens.
then some salt of course.

i also have recipes but i assume thats not what we discussing here.

I stayed at an Airbnb of a rice farmer in Japan and he showed me how he and his parents wash their rice.
He puts rice in the rice cooker, adds water until everything is covered and then swirls his hand inside 40 times. Remove the water. Swirl another 40 times without water. Add and remove water until the water comes out clear.
I have no idea if it actually does something, but he is the pro so why would I doubt him.

What is the point of washing your rice?

>>32924449
For a long time I didn't use a rice cooker either, but it's absolutely worth it for convenience. You put in rice and water, turn it on and walk away. Once it's done cooking it switches to warming and you can come back hours later and still have warm rice.

>> No.32932173

Is there really such a feature or do you mean it just keeps the heat in, thus, keeps it warm?

>> No.32932982

No clue what it does and I don't care, but the rice is still warm at least after 2 hours.

The idea of washing rice is to remove impurities on the gain, which usually float on water before pouring them out. It also remove starch on the rice to give a less sticky texture. The effect is more prominent with pearl/sushi rice so Japanese chef like >>32925685 mention will wash till the water is clean.

Wash the rice, preferably in the pot itself, since smaller grains tend to get stuck in the holes. It's the Asian way.

>I never wash my rice. Should I?
It's been mentioned in this thread already but the point of washing rice is to remove all of the pesticides and chemicals that are added when it's being grown. Some brands are worse about this than others. Just add water to the pot and stir it around a bit, if it's cloudy repeat adding water to it and rinsing it out until the water is completely clear. The reason the water gets so cloudy is from the chemicals and pesticides, if you don't wash that stuff out, well, you'll be eating it one way or the other. Just make sure you rinse FAST because the water soaks up flavor.

To answer OP's question I also use a rice cooker simply for convenience. You'll get made fun of for them sometimes but a decent one (namely the Japanese ones, I use a Tiger) will cook the rice absolutely sublimely and in whatever quantities you need for what you're cooking. Past a certain point you just don't want to bother with the same old routine of babysitting rice for half an hour whenever you make it, they really free up a lot of time.
