Reply to comment by FoxcMama 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, I am 100% Asian. I cook rice in a rice cooker just like you do. However, there are cultures who do not cook rice in the way you describe. For instance, Basmati rice in Indian and Pakistani culture is cooked very differently, and with different ratios. They look for a non-sticky rice with individual grains. You don't get that from a 2:1 ratio in a rice cooker.

So literally Southwest Asian cultures (the Indian subcontinent) cook white rice in a very different manner from you and I (although very similar to the OP), and you give them shit for not knowing how to cook white rice?

I fucking love Indian food, but I guess you've never had it. You have only ever had the stickier rice from eastern Asia? Broaden your horizons a bit.
