“Who doesn't know how to cook rice? Cooking rice hardly takes time.” said my father.
So, I challenged myself. I switched from news to YouTube and typed, “How to cook
rice?” I took one and a half cups of rice. Since I didn't have access to a rice cooker, I put
the rice in a big pot. Firstly, the rice has to be washed to get rid of dust and starch. 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 I 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.
2. The video stated that the key to perfect rice is equal amounts of rice and water. I have
heard that professionals don't need to measure everything; they just know what the right
amount is. But as this was my first time in the kitchen, I decided to experiment by not
measuring the water needed for boiling the rice. I wanted the rice to be firm when bitten,
just like pasta. I don’t enjoy the texture of mushy rice. It has to have that chutzpah; it has
to resist my biting power just for a bit before disinte- grating.
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 turned the
stove off. “What have you done to the kitchen?” shouted Mother, while coming towards
the kitchen. I managed to ward her off.
