Rice

• Ingredients
  • ~1/2 cup rice per person
  • Twice as much water as rice
• Instructions
  • Put rice and water into pot, but DO NOT STIR!
  • Boil without stirring
  • Cover with lid (need good lid; pointless without proper lid)
  • If using gas stove, put on very small flame
  • If using cast-iron electric stove, turn off but leave pot on hot plate (may need to take off temporarily to prevent from boiling over)
  • Leave like this for 20-30 minutes, or until all water has been absorbed by the rice
  • IMPORTANT: lid needs to cover well; never stir, or it will burn
  • Note: did I forget to mention that you shouldn't stir it?
