I don't own a rice cooker, mainly because it is expensive and it is hard to get my hands on a real good one. Plus, pot rice is so much better, even though you have to pay attention to it more carefully.
In Sweden the Korean rice is called sushi rice. If you are planning to cook Chinese food, then I suggest Jasmin rice.
Time to cook: 20 minutes
1 cup of rice is a good portion for 2 people, unless you love eating rice.
1 cup = 2.5 DL
Put the desired amount of rice in a high pot. (No more than 4 cups, depending on your pot. Rice can easily be undercooked on the top and overcooked on the bottom)
Wash and rinse the rice until all the white starch is clear in the water.
It may take 3-5 rinses.
To measure the amount of water needed, put your hand palm facing flat on the rice. Add cold water until it covers your middle knuckle.
Cook rice on medium heat until most of the water evaporates and it starts to bubble through the rice. This may take 5-10 minutes. Keep your eye on it!
Important! Don't stir the rice! You must have a small layer of water over the rice!
Turn off the heat, put on the lid to the pot and let it steam for 10 minutes. Do not remove the pot from the burner as the remaining heat will help with the steaming process.
After 10 minutes, you can stir and fluff the rice with a spoon. You are ready to serve.
Please keep the lid on the pot in between servings to keep it warm and moist.
