    I would say rinsing rice isn't always what you want to do.
    While I almost always rinse rice, sometimes I'll take a cup of jasmine rice, brown it in a little oil, add some herbs and add 2X the water.
    After 20 minutes it's much like 'rice-a-roni' (for lack of a better description). Slightly over plump, somewhat clumpy, but easy to fork.

    Thank you for finally explaining this. I grew up in Thailand but we always used a rice cooker. I always impressed my friends with Thai recipes I grew up with but whenever I'm caught without a rice cooker it was a rice disaster!

    In the Philippines,we just touch the rice and when no grain is wet or it doesnt stick to ur finger,then its done.the trick is knowing how to measure the water and turning down the heat once it starts boiling.u must also know the type of rice as she said in the video..New harvest rice needs less water than old harvest.long grains usually needs more water and round grains needs less.
