I just made rice for the first time in my life.

[hcry4]

Congrats. You done good.

[demik]

your next mission, if you choose to accept it, is to make this and not burn it in the process.

Well that's pretty much all noodles.  :P  But that's also how you make rice, right?  I just think there's more that can go wrong with noodles, so it's "harder".  :P

If everything catches on fire, just call it a flambé and people will love it.

As a yellow person.. I've made rice in a pot for a whole month in college. before the rice cooker went on sale on BF for $5. and now I know why people don't do this anymore..  It's just so easy to burn the bottom.

Ricemaking for dummies...

1. Warm water to a boiling in a large pot.
2. Put 1/3rd rice in it.
3. get a child beer, slowly drink it.
4. When half drunk check the rice. If less water put the remaining beer and open another child one.
5. When done drinking take the boiled rice with remaining water.
6. Strain it with a strainer, cloth, underwear... whatever else you got, put your own imagination to work.
7. Eat with salted butter/chicken/whatever else you got.

Don't switch steps else you will end up in the hospital or have to eat samich

4. It's going to take more than one beer to get half drunk!

6. Underwear should be removed first, depending on how drunk you are?

As an authentic Asian, I have to say that cooking rice in a pot in much more for street cred rather than functionality. A rice cooker is much much more efficient and you are less likely to mess up using one. I commend you on learning the art of pot cooking rice but it is an outdated art better suited for those who still study sword fighting and karate.

Yeah I'd have to agree. I have cooked rice before and its always using a rice cooker. Doesn't require you to be standing there and stirring it to keep from burning. Kudos to lcs for doing it old school though.

Personally faced with the prospect of cooking rice, I always pick cup noodles if possible.

Ah yes, Sai, is that a photo of Burmese standards of rice cooking?

 

If you guys ever go camping, try cooking rice in the middle of the forest, using sticks for the fire and stones for supporting the pot. I've made chicken rice successfully that way. Even managed to source the pandan leaves (for the rice) from a nearby bush. Regrettably, I confess that the chicken was market chicken and the ginger came from the same market. But for dessert we had sweet potatoes, and these were dug up by a smart kid who recognized the leaves.

I made rice in a cave once.  It was right after I made my Iron Man suit.  I used my repulsor rays to cook the rice.  Wait, no I didn't.  That was Tony Stark.
