I thought I won't be able to drain the rice and that it will fall out of the pot. I observed the chef as t swirled the rice around and used my dexterous hands to drain it, not once, not twice, but three times. I looked down at the sink and saw less than 50 grains that made their way out of the pot. Suffice to say, I was up to the mark

But as this was my first time in the kitchen, I decided toexperiment by not measuring the water needed for boiling the rice. I wanted the rice to be firm when hitten, just like pasta. I don't enjoy the texture of mushy rice. It hasto have that chutzpah; iR has to resist
my biting power just for a bit before disintegrating 3. After what seemed like 10 minutes, all the water disappeared. I went in to give it a good stir. To my surprise, some of the rice got stuck to the pot. I tried to scrape it off but to no avail. At the same time, there was a burning smell coming from it. I quickly tumed the stove off. What have you done to the kitchen shouted Mother, while coming towards the kitchen. I managed to ward her off.
