How To Cook Rice
The texture and taste of rice makes it a versatile side dish, or part of a main course. Long grain brown or white rice will give you rice that separates after cooking. Short grain rice comes in either brown or white, and will give you a sticky rice when cooked. There are vast varieties of rice, some of which are domestic, and a lot of wonderful imported varieties. Try black, red, or purple rice, which can be found in health food stores or in almost every international market.
Most rice is coated with something to keep the kernels from sticking together, and can be rice powder, powdered glucose, or talc. Unless stated otherwise on the packaging, all rice must be washed in cold water to remove the coating before cooking. ~ June
