Rice

>>9356074
depends what kind of rice it is. what does it say on the bag? just follow the instructions or Google how to prepare X kind of rice.

for future reference this is one of the slowest boards going so if you need help in a pinch, it's not really the place to come.

as for the rice, here's some things I'll suggest. Cook it in huge batches and refrigerate it in portions. then the day after you can dump the rice in a skillet with some oil/butter and soy sauce and make fried rice. can you cook an egg? place a cooked egg on top of your rice and consume, it's delicious

I managed to cook it, it is Pandan rice.
I can make some basic stuff like a nice steak, a good salad and broccoli and so forth but we lack it at home right now.

I like slow boards, they tend to make me come less often to this shitty website.

Thanks for the advice on how to preserve rice. What do you mean with cooking an egg? hardboiled or on those pancake pans?

a fried or poached egg is nice on top of steaming hot rice. poached is probably easiest. fill a pan with water and bring it to a low simmer. Crack an egg straight into the water and wait roughly three minutes (this will be longer if the eggs are refrigerated). take the egg out with a slotted spoon to drain the water, placing a bunched up paper towel under the spoon to catch the last of the water and so you don't get water on your food.

sorry if that's obvious I have no idea what your knowledge is

also with rice you can crack the egg straight into the rice in the pan when it's nearly done frying to make egg fried rice which is nice.

My brother is 31 and has been in the same situation as OP.

Your brother and OP are fucking retards.

Honestly you don't even need to cook the egg. One of the common things people eat in Japan as a quick lumuch is egg and rice, they just crack an egg into a really hot bowl of rice and stir it around, seasoned with some salt of course. If you want to go the extra mile sprinkle on some chopped up seaweed and seasame seeds. In Italy they do the same thing but with pasta and bacon, which gives you spaghetti carbonara. Just scramble some eggs in a bowl, add parmesan, then dump your really hot pssta in and stir it around until the eggs are cooked slightly into a creamy sauce.

I know. When my parents go away for the weekend they make him a huge pot of goulash or stew so he can feed himself for the weekend. Fwiw my mom's goulash is pretty good.

Just put it in the rice cooker, put in water, and turn it on. It's easy if you aren't retarded.

>spending extra money on a machine that can only do what a pot and lid already can
Cooking rice the regular way is easy when you're not retarded, why would you waste money like that?

It's way quicker and comes out better and keeps it warm and doesn't stick and doesn't burn and it's set and forget

They're really useful

Awwww....poor little guy. Mommy left you all alone with no food.

Such a shame.

So you can throw rice in and forget about it. Also theyre fast and the rice is great.

A simple rice cooker (like the one pictured) costs about as much as a nice steel pot. As a bonus, most rice cookers are non stick.

I guess growing up with an Asian friend was really helpful then cause ive never had any problems cooking perfect rice every time.

Honest question- I've got a rice cooker and I rinse my rice before using it. One cup dry rice to two cups water. I set the cooker to White and let it go. I always end up with some stuck to the bottom. It's non stick. What am I doing wrong?
