Boiled Rice

[jcgrumbles]

I normally use the two to one method but I add some star anise,cloves and a tiny bit cinnamon stick just so I can sit back and watch the family crack all their teeth(hey,mine are plastic I can chew through anything)...

Good on you chas ~ I'm 77 this year and still making great boiled rice. You can rinse the rice before cooking or add spice if you want ~ it's up to you ~ if you read the whoole thread you have lots of + an minus comments ~ just remember it's 15 mins for basmati and 20 mins for long grain rice, then rinse with boiling water. ~ carry on cooking !

If you're bored with plain rice, you can add chicken, Chinese rice wine or medium-dry sherry, sesame oil, and ginger to make rice porridge. Top with scallions for extra flavour.

Good thread !
Shame you banned the author.
Still, there are thousands of views, so boiled rice must be a popular foodie thread subject.

if you use a rice cooker and let it boil dry you can make fried rice with it straight away pritty much egg acts as a oily sponge to "wet" the wok so you dont need to put too much coconut oil in the rice directly. i go a bit of chicken stock or french lake salt (like a multi vitamin pill) in the rice water

Cooking basmathi rice is a bit harder than cooking other type or rice types ..Make sure to strain water when the grain can be smashed in your finger tips and leave it cook in steam to avoid stickiness
