I saw several people who claim that they don't know how to do a particular work because they never have been shown the way how to do that. I personally feel this is just an excuse of not to explore something. It is not very difficult to find out the way how that works. Cooking is one of the things which most people try to avoid. The only reason why people want to avoid cooking is they don't like that. It is very difficult to find people who don't like food. Any delicious recipe attracts anyone. The reason why I know lots of Asian recipes is not that I had the experience of cooking all those recipes in past. This is more likely due to the interest I have for cooking. There are several recipes which I just invented by myself. If I get a chance I will share that with you all. Most Asian countries have rice as main food during their lunch and dinner. Making rice is the easiest thing to do in kitchen. Don't think everyone knows how to make rice. If you don't know how to make rice then you would have never get into your kitchen.
Making rice is easy, but simultaneously it demands your attention too. You may need to follow few simple tips to get a desire result when you are cooking rice at your home.
First, the idea about what quantity of rice requires how much water to boil is little difficult. You may fail at first time. But you know that practice makes man perfect. So you need to try few times to grab that idea. General thumb rule is that one cup of rice requires one cup of water. Depending upon how you are making rice this measurement may vary little bit.
Secondly, how do you know when your rice has been cooked? This is the most difficult part per my experience. Different types of rice take different duration to prepare. Again different people like to have rice in different boiling status. It is very difficult to fix a time-line for rice to be prepared. Mostly it depends upon your experience. The best way is to take one rice grain and check if it becomes soft enough as you like. If you have a little experience in that field you may say the same just by seeing the rice.
There are several ways you can make rice. The traditional way is to make rice in a bowl along with water. In this way you can cover the bowl with suitable container and then allow the bowl to be heated on a oven in high flame. Need to be careful if the water is coming out of the bowl. After sometime you may need to remove the cover and check in every three to four minutes whether rice is boiled properly. If you see the rice has been boiled the way you like, you can drain the excess water and serve hot with side dishes.
Now-a-days rice cooker is the alternative choice of traditional way of preparing rice at home. This is one of the best hassle free ways of making rice. Just put the rice and water as prescribed in cooker's manual and keep the power on at cooking position and cooker will do the rest for you. Once rice is cooked cooker will automatically turn to warm position so that it can keep the rice warm enough if you take the rice after some time.
You can also make the rice in pressure cooker. It requires little more attention and experience on preparing rice. Put same amount of water as rice (1:1) into the cooker and have three to four whistles to prepare the rice. Preparing rice in pressure cooker is the fastest way of preparing rice. Rice in pressure cooker may take upto maximum 10 minutes.
