Reply to comment by circumlocutious in LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious

Bro, you do 2 parts water, 1 part rice, then you turn on the heat till it cooks, then you turn it down to a low simmer. Keep the lid on and dont touch it till all the water is gone. Stir it when done let it breath for a monent. Perfect rice. No draining no nonsense

Like I said, if you presoak your rice then 2:1 is too much.

Also you can’t make a biryani that way, for instance, Sometimes you definitely need to drain parcooked rice for a recipe.

Who eats parboiled rice? Disgusting. We dont presoak, we wash and use our finger knuckle for water measurement.

You parboil it THEN continue steaming it with cooked meat etc in spices. It’s called a biryani… sigh

People who don’t need extra arsenic in their diet should generally choose parboiled or boil and drain their rice and finish cooking
