Food and Cooking

I love rice! My perfect rice is long grain jasmine cooked slightly al dente. I rinse it several times and then use a rice cooker with slightly less water than the lines indicate. Let it sit a few minutes before fluffing it.

For me as Indonesian, it's Nasi Uduk (Flagrant Rice). This one is smell so nice and perfect with spicy food. It's fairly easy, so you cook the rice with simple rice cooker with that middle finger trick. Then you put: coconut milk, salt, lemongrass, and Salam leaf (idk what it called in english), which already been boiled. And then, cook the rice with those ingredients.

The rice that I probably recommend is Basmati rice, because it doesn't stick like Jasmine rice.

Any other Indonesian can correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a cook.

If you have an instant pot (they're 100% worth it imo) just follow this: https://greenhealthycooking.com/instant-pot-rice/

For plain white rice, I just use a rice cooker with basmati and put in my soy sauce and the like.

For fried rice, ALWAYS let it sit in the fridge over night after steaming it, and be sure to break it up as much as possible before frying it.

I use this method because I don't have a rice cooker and it works really well.

Make sure to buy good rice. I decided to get the store brand rice. It's just rice, right? Wow there is a noticeable difference in taste, also I got sick of picking random black things out of it while I was washing it.
