I never really ate rice before I moved to Hawaii. I only had it when my dad would make a box of Uncle Bens. I've been here for 40 years and learned how to use a rice cooker with the measurements etc. I did the occasional stove top with the 'measurements' when a hurricane came thru.
Lately my rice (especially short grain brown, or hippie rice lol) has been really dry, overly chewy or burnt on the bottom. What happened? Couldn't figure it out and I wasn't going to get out the pressure cooker for one cup.
So I happened to see someone cook it like pasta. Oh my gosh it changed my rice life. I found it wasn't uncommon, but here in Hawaii everyone has at least one, more like three cookers.
No measurements, lids or fuss. Just a pot of salted water, as much rice as you want and a timer for what kind of rice it is. Ask me 'where have you been'? lol
