Many Asians use a rice cooker to cook rice, but you may not have a rice cooker nor want another gadget on your kitchen counter. In this article, I will talk about how to cook Asian white rice in a ceramic pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a few things to bear in mind: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, before we even begin to cook our rice, determine how much rice you want to cook and the container you will cook it in. I generally approximate 1 cup of rice for 2 people. As for what kind of pot to cook my rice in, I recommend a ceramic or stone pot, because they trap heat and steam very well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I personally use either a Le Creuset<\/a> 4.5 quart round cast iron casserole pot or a Korean ceramic stone bowl with lid<\/a> and they work wonderfully. My only caveat is that you do need to keep an eye on the pot while it cooks the rice rather than depend on a “beep” from a rice cooker when your rice is done. When you select your pot, keep in mind that rice will expand to about 3-4 times its size when done, so you need a large enough pot. Also, you will be boiling and then steaming the rice in that pot, so it needs to have a lid that can keep most of the steam trapped in the pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\n\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n Step 1: How to wash your rice properly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
