Clearly, no matter where you come from or what type of cuisine you prefer, rice recipes are top of mind. The simple ingredient gets completely transformed when you pair it with curry or red beans, sauté it with vegetables and eggs for fried rice, or roll into sushi rice. It tastes delicious with any type of protein, sauce, and works just as well for breakfast or lunch (even dessert) as it does for dinner. When preparing rice, don’t forget to wash it: giving your grains a quick rinse before cooking it allows them to shed some of their starch, which creates cooked rice that won’t overly clumpy. Simply place rice in a fine-mesh sieve or colander with small-sized holes, then run cool tap water over it for about a minute. Stir with your fingers or a spoon as you go.
