All About Rice
It took me a long time to master rice — and really, it shouldn’t be a hard task! As with many things in my life, I’m always looking for the shortest route possible. I assumed that the shortest path to cooked rice was through my microwave. Not so! Now, some of you may have a rice cooker. I LOVE those. They’re wonderful! But, in my pared down kitchen, there just isn’t room for a rice cooker. Especially, since I’ve discovered that stove-top rice preparation is just as easy.
To prepare rice on the stove-top, add 1.5 cups water for each cup of rice (white or brown). Add rice and water to pot before turning on heat. Cover pot, and heat to boiling. Turn heat down to medium — hot enough that the rice won’t boil over. Now go do something else! Make your entree! The rice will prepare itself (as long as you don’t let it boil dry!)
The other note I need to add here, is that I recently discovered the glory of organic brown rice. I buy it locally at our Fresh Market, and the taste is well worth the extra price.
Let them eat rice!
