How much water to rice?

[Syringer]

Is there a specific ratio for it?

 

[UnatcoAgent]

4-1

 

[pillage2001]

1.5 cups of water for 1 cup of rice.

 

[HiTek21]

I usually do 1 cup of rice to 1.25 cups of water.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

I always just add water until it's level with the rice. Not above it. Then just mix it around a bit and cover it with a plate or something so it actually kind of steams. My rice always comes out good.

i do double

x cups rice => 2x water

Depends on the coolant system you use... and the size wing you have.

Darn, beat me to it.

To answer the OP, I've always cooked rice in enough water to cover it and then drained it in a colander when I was ready to serve. Seems to work well.

I'm doing it the old fashion way. using my finger to measure it. Maybe that's why my rice always come out salty

For WHOLE-grain rice (not "uncle ben's) -

1 cup rice to 2 cups water

 

[oog]

1.5x
but my mom thinks that the rice i cook comes out too dry.

 

[DrPizza]

Wait a second... aren't there directions on the box that the rice came in?!

 

[NutBucket]

wow, 2 : 1 makes for some gooey rice. We do about 2.25:2 water to rice. Turns out the way we like it. If you prefer "firmer" rice go for 1:1

I was going to post, then realized 2 things:
1) depends on the rice (in other words, look on the package)
2) all the asians on the board would point and laugh at the white girl telling them how to cook rice

Same here, Sometimes I add a little bit of olive oil to keep it from sticking to the pot, and to give it a little flavor boost.
