Raw rice is covered with a thin layer of starch that is easily removed while rinsing – a common procedure in Chinese food cooking techniques. Place the rice into the pot and add 1 ? cups of water for every cup of rice. Then, keeping medium heat, bring it to boil, without covering. Once the rice is boiling, change the heat from medium to low and put the lid. Take into consideration that the steam from the pot should escape not to form condensate, so tilt  the lid while placing it. Only when you notice typical “craters” – little holes in the rice surface – put the lid hermetically and low the heat again. According to Chinese food cooking techniques, in this position the rice is simmered for about 15 minutes, then it is fluffed up and can be served.

The whole cooking process takes not more than 30 minutes. Due to such simple Chinese food cooking techniques your rice will always be the best, especially if you opt for long grain rice or one of the scented rices, like jasmine rice.
