 Rinse it
When making rice, expect it to roughly double in
volume as it absorbs water while cooking. Generally
speaking, measure 1/2 cup (115 ml) long-grain rice
per person to make slightly less than 1 cup (225
ml) of rice per serving.
- Measure out the rice into the
saucepan. Turn on the cold water faucet and
fill the pan halfway. Stir the rice to cleanse
it, and remove any floating husks or debris as
the rice settles to the bottom.
- Pour off the excess water. Rinse the
rice lightly once or twice if you prefer sticky
rice (say, for making sushi, dolmas or other
international recipes); rinse more thoroughly if
you do not want sticky rice. Pour off all excess
water carefully, or use a spoon to prevent the
rice from spilling out. The milky color of the
water indicates rice gluten, or starch. This is
largely responsible for making rice sticky.
