                  How to cook rice

In these day every house are cooking rice with rice cooker, but how about if your rice cooker is broken. Are you going to go to the store to buy the new one on that day? Well, for any reason if you cannot get the rice cooker right away, then you can cook the rice on the regular stove pot, it’s simple, and not much different from cooking with the electronic rice cooker. 
 
Get any sauce pan or pot that you want to use to cook rice.

First measuring rice and water:

2 cups of Jasmine rice


3 cups of water (4 cups for long grain rice)

              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prepare to cook step by step:

*** Cover the pot with lid all the time during cooking. But not fully cover it the whole pot on step 3 and 4, because it might over flow.


1. Put rice into the pot 


2. Rinse the rice for about one or two time


3. Filled rice with 3 cups of water, and put the rice pot over stove top on high or medium-high, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the rice is boiling, (this is for non stick pot). If using aluminum or stainless steel pot, then you need to stir rice after 3 or 4 minutes, to protecting rice sticking to the bottom of the pot.


4. After the rice is boiling, stir and reduce heat to medium for another 5 - 6 minutes.


5. Stir and then reduce heat down to medium-low for another 5-6 minutes, after that reduce the heat down to low (Lo), and set the time for 15-20 minutes.

6. Enjoy your rice :)

                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Note: To protect the rice from burning, always set the time to help reminding you, so this way, you will not forget that you are cooking rice, and your rice will not get burn.

                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I always cook rice without using measuring cup (most Asian are cook rice this way). I feel it easier to cook rice this way, because I don’t have to remember how many cups of rice, and water I need to use. I can just cook any amount of rice and measuring the water level with my pointer finger (Index finger), by point the finger down on top of the rice (only touch the finger on top of the rice, do not put your finger into the rice), and fill the water until water level reach to the first line of the finger, if you are cooking long grain rice then water should reach to the second line of your finger, or about half way of your finger as picture show.

On Sunday, June 20, 2010 Me and my children, we went to Wat Phramahajanaka (Thai Temple in Griffin GA.), planning to go and do meditation at the temple on that day, but when we got there, the monk did not teach people to do meditation on that day, but the monk and all the other people helping the monk building big benches to use for meditation, or can use for a camp when some people come to the temple to have 8 precept at the temple for 3 days, 5 days, or 7 day.          My daughter and my son on the left, my daughter she turned her face away from the camera.      This is what the temple needed for the monk them self and for the monks visitor, and also for people to use for meditation, if people have to stay over night, because they want to do eight precepts at the temple, then they can set up a tent over that big bench. The monk planned to build 45 of these big bench.    At first the monk want to hire a company to build these big bench, but the company will charge $100

                                                                                      This one is made with yellow  bananas                                                    Homemade Sweet Coconut Cream Banana I remembered on the time I lived with my grandmother and grandfather, my grandma used to cook banana curry, sweet coconut cream banana, used ripe banana and green banana makes, and I love it so much, especially sweet coconut cream green banana. I know how to make sweet cream banana with ripe banana, but I never make curry banana, and sweet cream using green banana.   My grandmother also used bananas and made many other types of banana desserts that taste much better than sweet cream banana, but it more difficult and take longer time to finish it. First time I was made sweet coconut banana cream, using ripe banana. I replaced coconut milk with cow milk as it easy to find, because we always had milk in the refrigerator every day for our kids.
