Tomorrow night I'm cooking Moroccan influenced chicken with dates and honey served alongside quinoa (in the place of cous cous) and lightly toasted flatbread with garlic and herbs.

You take 1 measure of rice, 1.5 measures of cold water and a little salt. Put in a pot and place the lid on.
Wait for it to boil. When it does, lower the heat enough so that it just keeps boiling.
Boil for 12 minutes, then turn off the stove. Leave the rice to steam under lid for another 12 minutes.
Serve.
, but only 10 minutes for boiling and resting.

Throw it in cold water, put the heat under it, add any herbs if you want to(safran to colour it yellow, paprika to colour it red, etc..). The moment the water boils, your rice is ready.(give or take)
Don't rinse or you'll any flavour (and colouring) in the rice.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

I would add that adding salt keeps the rice from sticking too much together. I would also say add olive oil.Visit The Frontier for all your geopolitical, historical, sci-fi, and fantasy forum gaming needs.Comment

Adding oil to pasta when boiling doesn't help, just a waste of oil, so I doubt it will help with rice.Originally posted by DerSchwarzfalke

I think Star let it boil too long and didn't get rid of enough water before eating it.

Rice cookers.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

The trick is to let the rice soak in the water for about 10 minutes before you start cooking.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

Add rice and a little bit of salt to the water, boil. Stir anti-clockwise exactly three times, count to 100 and turn the heat off. Wait 17 minutes and reboil, then drain.Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

Wash rice in water until the water runs clear.
Put rice in large pan with plenty of water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat slightly so rice doesn't froth up and overflow pan. Boil for 15-20 minutes until rice is hard in center.
Remove from heat, dump rice in steamer pan or collander and rinse. Steam rice until done.VANGUARDComment

How the hell do any of you cook rice without comming out with attrocities?
My time tested method, which I have used without incident ever, for hundreds of times, is as followes:
Takes a metal pot, in the bottom put a small amout of fat, be it butter, vegetable oil, or olive oil, does not really matter. Place one cup of long grain white rice in it, and coat the rice by stirring for a while. Then add one teaspoon of salt per cup of rice. Then add two cups of water per cup of rice. Put on high heat until the water boils. Once you get to a boil, lower the heat to a slow simmer and cook covered for 20 minutes. At the end of twenty minutes, the rice will be done, nice and fluffy. You can subsitute one cup of water for a cup of coconut milk to make salty coconut rice.
This method has never failed me, in a decade.If you don't like reality, change it! me
