    Default Perfect Rice

    Rinse rice with cold water in a sieve.
    Put some water in the kettle and switch on
    Heat oil on med to high heat and stir fry rice for 1 min
    Add a pinch of salt (you can also add some other seasoning/spices at this stage)
    add hot water to just cover the rice by 1/4 inch and put lid on. Do not stir it
    Turn down heat as low as it will go
    Cook for around 10-12 mins then turn off heat and leave lid on for 5 mins - fluff up with a fork and enjoy!

    Not alot of people know that, run cold water over the rice before you cook it.

    Another thing my mrs does is use a vegatable stock cube in the rice while cooking, your tasste buds come alive when you taste the rice mmm.

    You can add a little finely chopped spring onion to the oil before adding the rice - just brown it a little to bring out the flavour. (Throw in a few peas and sweetcorn, chopped ham, cooked shrimps at the end and you have a meal!).

    running the rice under the tap before hand washes some of the starch off it stopping it all stinking together and becoming stodgy.......NOT stiring is vital.

    You can also soak the rice in warm water for an hour before cooking. This makes the rice soft!

    Thanks for the tip. By perfect do you mean that the rice will remain firm. I hate soggy rice, but my wife thinks that soggy rice is perfect.

    my way is to put the basmati rice in a bowl of cold water and leave for 30 mins. Then drain off the water

    meanwhile boil some water in a pan.

    transfer the rice to the boiling water and boil between 4 and 5 mins, any longer and it will start to go too soft.

    I don't rinse my rice. It looses all the minerals.
