I’m pleased that, for once, attention is being paid to the quality of the rice. Considering that rice is such an integral part of most Chinese meals, it surprises me that we do not focus much on perfecting our rice technique (or do most Chinese cooks take for granted that their rice technique is already perfect, I wonder?) I have been cooking for a very long time, and I still feel that my rice is sometimes lacking. My criteria for perfect rice? If I am happy to eat it plain and simple, with no accompaniment or even a drop of soy sauce! I like to use Basmati, (ideally, soaked overnight and then very gently rinsed), and cook using the absorption method in quite well-salted water, with a towel under the lid. When cooked, I let it rest for 15 minutes, then fluff it up with a fork (a spoon might break the grains). I know that this does not give the ‘sticky’ texture that some people appreciate, however.

Hi Jojo, try using less water next time. I get my rice from the Asian markets (but the brands change all the time). I love getting jasmine rice.

I still cook white rice like my Grandma. She put her finger in the pot resting on the top of the rice and filled the water to the first knuckle. No measuring cups needed. It works every time. I don’t know why, but it does. No matter how much rice I cook, 1 knuckle above. DONE.

It doesn’t hurt to throw two lap chong sausages on top to add great flavor to the rice. Just sayin’.

Thanks for the recipe. Hahah that sounds like a knockoff of a Fallout Boy song: Thnks Fr Th Rcpe. (allusion to Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, and yes, the song’s actually spelled like that)
Aaaanyway… I’ve just come back from China and I agree, Chinese food is nothing like American Un-Chinese food. (making it very clear of the difference). I was there for 2 weeks and I loved it. I’m still trying to wean myself off of rice, and seeing as how this is my first breakfast back in America (or Meguo in Chinese) I would still like rice, because frankly, I’m still addicted haha. I love the sweet and sour pork, the peking duck, everything but the chicken heads and feet. I just couldn’t bring myself to eat something that looked back at me when I looked at it. Or something that I could shake as a greeting. My friend, however, had no qualms in trying it, and he loved it. I must say, everybody, If you ever have the chance to go to China, go ahead. China has gotten such a bad rap in America because we’re capitalist and they’re communist, but if I were to say which population was more friendly, I would have to say Chinese. In America, if you say hi to someone that you’ve never seen in your life, you’d be lucky to get a polite nod. In China, you do the same, and they very clearly say hi back and beam at you (you’d have to say it in Chinese, though. Not many understand English). They’re also not as conservatively styled as people make them out to be. True, you’re not going to see a girl walking down the street topless, or a guy bottomless, but they’re not as conservative as you think. Once again, if you ever have the chance, go. Let me give you the info of my guide, seeing as how he is now my good friend, and I wish to give him some business.

He currently is no longer working for Gecko full time, but if you ask for Dragon, or just email him, then you can get hooked up with him with no extra trouble and expense. Tell him Payne sent you and said hi.
