Perfect Rice Recipe


Perfect Rice Recipe
This is the basic, simple way I learned to make rice. It comes out perfect every time, and no scorching.

Yep, this is the way I make it, fast and easy!


Yes indeed, the only way to cook rice. I like to add chicken or beef broth to mine.


Okay, may sound stupid, but is this with Minute Rice, or regular rice - or... is there really a difference?


It's regular rice, Hungry Diva. :) And yep, there's a *big* difference. Minute Rice, from what I understand, is rice that has been cooked, mushed up, then reformed into rice-shaped little pieces so that it re-constitutes quickly. It doesn't taste anything like real, regular rice. Converted Rice is *not* the same as Minute Rice, either - it's simply been precooked, I believe, and can be quite tasty and doesn't stick together at all. This recipe, however, is for good, plain old regular rice. :) California longgrain, Basmati, or Jasmine will work fine.


Absolutely right! Thanks. :-)
