Getting the Best From Rice
One of the Most Successful Methods Is That of the
Chinese, Which Calls for More Water Than
Is Generally Used in America.

Do you know how to cook rice?
or course. l mean cook it really
well? Any one can put rice in water
and get it soft enough to eat, but
when you finish cooking it, is yours
dry and flaky? In other words, are
you making the most of it?
There really is no one best way
to cook rice. l have had several diff
ferent recipes la Chinese given to
me, always with the statement, "This
is the only way to cook rice we'll"
These recipes, however, differ great
ly both in the amount of water
which should be used and also the
question as to whether rice should be
boiled rapidly or slowly. l have been
most successful with the Chinese
method, which calls for twice as
much water as rice, and which d.
reefs that the rice shall be boiled but
ten minutes and then put over hot
water for about 10 minutes. l find
the tall top of a double boiler the
most satisfactory utenSll.
This method, by the way, is quite
different from that advised by Chi
nese cook book which has recently
been published. 1t suggests soaking
the rice over night, then draining
it and cooking it in boiling water for
20 minutes. Let me quote one SEN
tence from the book, which gives an
idea of the many ways in which rice
may be prepared: "In China we have
three religions, but a hundred dishes
we may make from rice" Here Is
another quotation which might be
applied to rice cookery: Fuel may
be cheap, but you need not burn the
bottom Of your pot"
To get back from China to Amer
lea. There are two other ways which
I like very much for cooking rice.
One is to put in what is known as a
rice ball-which looks like two sleeves
put together. The ball is put in a
kettle Of boiling water and when the
rice is tender it may be lifted out
and drained at the same time. The
other method like is what is known
as steaming. I use three times as
much milk as rice and put them to-
gether in a double boiler with lit
tie salt, which we always add In
whatever method we use. 1t takes
about three-quarters Of an hour to
steam rice.
After the rice is cooked you can
do all sorts of things with it besides
serving it with meat as is so often
done. usually try to have gravy
when I serve rice instead of pota-
toes. 1t can be combined with highly
favored foods, such as tomatoes, on
