Notes
Don't faff around too much with the rice, I find you don't need to rinse or soak the rice.
Use the rapid absorption method that I have described above.
Stick to the ratio of 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water and you can't go wrong
Below are some common ratios of rice and water.
½ cup rice to ¾ cups water
1 cup rice to 1 ½ cups water
1 ½ cups rice to 2 ¼ cups water
2 cups rice to 3 cups water
3 cups rice to 4 ½ cups water
