FAQ
Should I rinse the rice?+
Yes, except for risotto. Rinse until the water runs mostly clear. The starch you wash off is what makes rice gummy.
Why is jasmine rice 1:1.25 instead of 1:2?+
Jasmine is short and absorbs less water. The classic '2:1' rule is for older recipes that assumed long-grain American rice and didn't account for variety.
