Texas or California long-grain rice are the most common types served
in Chinese restaurants. I enjoy Jasmine rice (from Thailand) and
Basmati rice (from India), which require 1/2 cup more water and up to
10 additional minutes of cooking time. Cooked rice stays warm in the
pot for 15 to 20 minutes. Cooked and cooled rice may be sealed,
refrigerated, and/or frozen for several days. Excellent for fried
rice.
Rice should be rinsed repeatedly and thoroughly before cooking. Place
the rice in the pot, and using approximately 4 or 5 cup of water, rub
the rice between your hands. Change water and repeat until water is
clear. (Initially, the water will be quite milky, due to the residue
left from the milling process.) When the rice water is clear, give it
a final rinse and add fresh water to measure 1 inch above the rice
level. Bring the pot of rice to a boil, and when visible water begins
to evaporate, cover and lower heat to simmer for approximately 15
minutes. Remove lid, and fluff the rice up with chopsticks before
serving.
