Learn2 Make Rice (continued)
Step 1: Rinse it



When making rice, expect it to roughly double in volume as it absorbs water while cooking. Generally speaking, measure 1/2 cup (115 ml) long-grain rice per person to make slightly less than 1 cup (225 ml) of rice per serving.
  • Measure out the rice into the saucepan. Turn on the cold water faucet and fill the pan halfway. Stir the rice to cleanse it, and remove any floating husks or debris as the rice settles to the bottom.
  • Pour off the excess water. Rinse the rice lightly once or twice if you prefer sticky rice (say, for making sushi, dolmas or other international recipes); rinse more thoroughly if you do not want sticky rice. Pour off all excess water carefully, or use a spoon to prevent the rice from spilling out. The milky color of the water indicates rice gluten, or starch. This is largely responsible for making rice sticky.
