can any1 give me the correct autistic numbers for the rice/water ratio and also the method to cook it?
what you have : 100g rice, salt , water and a kitchen with heat control 1-9.
p.s cup.spoon. etc.. are not numbers
>>
75g parboiled rice
As much water as you fucking want
For as long as you fucking want

Buy parboiled rice like most of the world
>>
>>7035223
The ratio is different for each kind of rice, age also plays a role.
>>
>>7035223
You're going to need about ten water.

>p.s cup.spoon. etc.. are not numbers
Neither are grams.
>>
>>7035223
set heat control to 9
place exactly 526 grains of rice directly on
burner
when rice begins to smoke snort 0.25 grams of table salt
dump 800ml of water on burner
go outside and kill yourself
>>
>>7035223

regular long grain rice:

ratio of:
1 rice, rinsed.
to
1.75 water.

bring to boil, lower heat and cover for 15 minutes.

turn off the heat leaving the lid on and let stand for another 10-15 minutes.

wa la.
>>
It's going to depend a lot on the rice you're using and the method of cooking. The ratio will typically fall somewhere between 1.5 - 3.5 parts water to 1 part rice, so there can be a lot of variance.

Do you rinse the rice? It's going to hold on to some of that water, so you'll need slightly less than you would if you didn't rinse (a 50 g portion absorbs like 10 g of water during rinsing based on my testing).
Do you cook it covered or in an open pot, like with risotto? If you don't have a lid you'll have more evaporation and need more water.
Do you cook it in a pot, in a rice cooker or in a double boiler? If you cook directly in a pot it will generally be at a boil as it cooks and will lose more water, whereas with the latter two methods the temperature will be around 95 C so it will evaporate less.

I'd recommend a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part rice for starters. Ideally you'd weigh your ingredients so you'll know the exact ratio you used and can then adjust the ratio on subsequent times until you find out the perfect amount of water. You'll want 50-75 g of rice per portion. I also add about 0.5% salt by weight, so for three portions or 150 g rice and 300 g water I would add about 2 grams of salt. A teaspoon of salt is about 6 grams. 0.5% won't really taste salty, but will improve the taste. If you like saltier rice you can easily double the amount. The cooking time is also something that should be tested for each rice. For typical white rice I'd go with 20 minutes.

If you can, use a rice cooker or failing that, a double boiler.
>>
>>7035223

Never understood this measuring the correct volume of water for a specific weight of rice bullshit.

Why not just launch the rice in a a pan of boiling water and then drain it when done? Much easier.
>>
It really depends on what type of rice you are cooking.. for me an asian dude, i usually cook my rice using my finger as a guide on how many water i use. Mostly 1 : 1 ratio but u can decrease that amount when you cook it and just add more water later if the rice is still hard on the inside
>>
just read the fucking instructions on the goddamn rice package you twit
>>
It is 2 to fucking one, water to fucking rice, you retarded fucking fuckwad.

It isn't fucking rocket science for fuck's sake.
>>
>>7035228
I've only got six water on hand? Is there a decent substitute?
>>
>>7035341

Because too much water fucks the texture of the rice.
>>
The answer is it depends. You need to experiment until you find the best ratio. This video explains why

https://youtu.be/DJFU7ezipbg
>>
>>7035555
No you don't need to experiment. Different types of rice take different amounts. You just follow the directions and use a rice cooker and you'll always have perfect rice
>>
>>7035392
the instructions are always useless unless you want disgusting mush

Best ratio for basmati that I do is 1 rice:1.5 water.
>>
>>7035898
I use 1:2 but I probably overcook mine a little.

Might as well post recipe.

Drain my rice about 6 times first. Strain, then 1 cup to 1.5 cups of water. Throwing in some salt and a dash of oil. Set burner to high to get to boil, then to middle-high (or 7 for you plebs), while stirring occasionally. Lid on and off to conserve heat and prevent boiling over. Keep this process going until water level is right under rice level. Transfer to low heat, put a towel over the top of the pot then put lid on, leave for 20 minutes. After that I'll take it out except for a decent lining on the bottom, and I'll put the towel back on with the lid to make tahdig (crustier rice, google is your friend. Fucking glorious with tahdig).

>>7035223
method A:
>>7035341
if you dont mind washing some starch out of the rice. Can be done safely with basmati since its already fucked beyond being useful for anything

Method B
cover rice with water and add 1-2 millimeter more. if the rice isnt doen yet, but the upper layer of water evaporated - fill up until its again a few mm above the rice. repeat until done

Were you not aware that you can cook rice the same way you cook pasta?

I've seen restaurants do this because there's less of a chance of it getting fucked up in large amounts.
>>
>>7036149
My ex was Persian, I'm Swedish so I speak Eng/Swe but I picked up some Farsi during the 2 years we were together.

Chelow is great, but I've always preferred jujeh or soltani. Honestly though I pretty much would just eat gheimeh all day every day,
>>
>>7036150
Or you know, just measure rice and water? Trying to drain rice as you do pasta doesn't even make sense because they behave differently.
>>
>>7035341

because you neadrathal ..most people like firm cooked rice, Like Basmati ..
NOT some nasty sticky over cooked paste that tastes like glue and smells like rubber
>>
fry 1 oil in pan on medium-high heat
add 13 rice, stir it around for a couple of minutes. If using spices at 1/3 - 1 of each as well
add 19.5 water/stock, bring to the boil, then put a tight-fitting lid on the pan, turn the heat down to the lowest setting and fuck off for 15
take the pan off the heat, keep the lid on the pan and leave it for another 5

>trying to drain rice as you do pasta doesn't even make sense because they behave differently

What are you even talking about?

Just because you haven't heard of a particular way of doing something you don't have to get defensive.
>>
>>7036181
>What are you even talking about?

Too much water can easily over-hydrate the rice.

What you're discussing is a shortcut that trades convenience for quality. Can it be done? Sure. That doesn't mean it's a good idea though.

I'm saying why would you even bother, when just measuring correct amounts of water and dry rice is so much easier. It'd be like trying to drain couscous. How do you do it without losing parts of what you've just cooked?

Wait, no it's not, it's just 1:1.5. My man.

Read the thread in detail before you reply please.

We're not talking about rinsing rice before cooking it. We're talking about the idea of cooking it with a massive surplus of water and then straining out the excess water after cooking.
>>
>>7036252
lol, det var inte en bra upplevelse kompis.

I also answered why YOU would use a sieve ..

any other use for a sieve when cooking rice is ghetto trash methodology ...

He didn't ask why you would use a sieve. He asked why anyone would use the silly method of cooking it in far too much water then straining out the rice afterward.

I'm using basmati or basmine rice though

>>7037324
im using cheap as fuck rice from walmart
"long grain enriched rice"

I just do 1:2, rolling boil, simmer with lid till water is gone
>>
>>7036199
Here most people who don't know very well how to cook cook rice like pasta.
Boil water, throw 2 handful rice per person, wait time written on bag, drain.
You don't even need a finer strainer than the pasta one. A few grains pass, but not enough to clog canalisations.

>>7035301
Rice is the only dry thing I measure in volume. What volume is a portion of rice? Or what's rice density?
>>
>>7037315
10 minutes is a bit short for most rices. Try 15, it may be a bit overcooked but better than "al dente".
If you are more courageous, try tasting a few grains every minutes and note how long it took. Then you'll be settled for this brand.
>>
>>7037407
I did it until the water was gone
my problem was I dropped the heat too low
it wasn't really simmering
>>
>>7035223
Regular long grain rice: one cup rice, two cups water

Basmati or jasmine rice: one cup rice, one and a half cups water
>>
I just wanted to say that rice cooked by the absorption method tastes much better than simply tossing it in a pan of boiling water and straining.
>>
>>7037414
you have to bring it to a very good boil for >>7037299 to work. Want to make a lot of heat that will then cook the rice over the 10/15 minutes standing time. Probably 5 minutes on high heat, quick stir, then 10/15 with heat off. you could keep the heat on very low if you have crunch issues, or just use much more water.

Note that this method only works for about 2-3 cups of rice. If you want to do more, add more water.
>>
>>7035544
Use 4 less rices

depends on the rice

it can be the same brand you buy every time, but each batch can be different.
