Hi my friends - we all have recipes that involve something being served over a bed of white rice. I spent 23 years cooking the world's worst white rice - sticky, gooey - you know what I mean. I found the secret to great white rice and tried sharing it with 10 or so people and as soon as they heard one word - I was dismissed. The only person who tried my suggestion was my friend Cindy and she agreed that it was fab.
That one word is parboiled. Parboiled is not the same as instant - I don't know why it is called parboiled - it cooks for the same amount of time as regular white rice and cooks in the same amount of water as regular. You can find it in the ethnic aisle at your grocery store - look in the Hispanic section. It comes in 1 lb, 5 lb, and 10 lb bags. This is the most fab rice I have ever made. Each grain of rice is separate from the other - no goo - no stickiness. I have tried long grain, medium grain, Jasmine, and Basmahti and none of them cooked up as great as the parboiled.
Give it a try. I will post my delish fried rice and chicken/veggy stir fry tomorrow.
Happy eating
Karen
