Rice & Water: A Simple Guide to Perfect Grains
Okay, let’s talk rice! Getting that fluffy, delicious texture isn’t just about the rice itself, it’s *all* about the water. Let’s break down some common rice cooking questions.
First off, for 2/3 cup rice, you’ll generally need about 1 1/3 cups of water. Now, scaling that up – for 6 cups of rice, you’re looking at roughly 10 cups of water. It's not rocket science, just a ratio!
Let’s get specific. For a gorgeous, fragrant cup of jasmine rice, try using 1 1/4 cups of water. It's a little less than other varieties. Brown rice is tougher, so a cup of brown rice needs a bit more love – around 2 cups of water. Again, that cup of jasmine rice - remember that 1 1/4 cup water rule!
Now, what if you *don't* have a measuring cup? No problem! A standard mug, generally 8-12oz, can be a decent substitute. Just eyeball it – a little practice is all it takes.
Need a visual? Just search for an image of a cup of water online, that will give you a good reference point. And for staying hydrated on the go? Think about an insulated water bottle that fits in cup holder! It keeps your water cool and convenient, perfect for those long days.
Finally, an insulated cup water is a great alternative if you are on the go! Happy cooking!
