TASK DEFINITION: Given a paragraph about cooking, and a set of conversational question answers about the paragraph, generate a relevant question to the topic of the paragraph. The paragraph has the prefix 'CONTEXT:'. Each conversation question has a prefix `Q:` followed by the answer prefix `A:`.
PROBLEM: CONTEXT: I'm afraid you interpret the tables wrong. You aren't destroying calories, you are adding water (=0 cal) to the dry rice. As the rice absorbs the water, you are in fact measuring rice + water for cooked rice.This is true for calorie tables that measure by volume (like here) and by weight.If you are cooking your rice by boiling and straining, you are effectively losing a few calories due to the starch that gets drained with the water, but that's not what you asked here.  <sep>  Q: How to maintain the calories in rice (which were present in it in its raw form) after cooking it? A: You aren't destroying calories, you are adding water (=0 cal) to the dry rice  Q: So to maintain the same calories I just don't drain the water? A: the rice absorbs the water 

SOLUTION: Is there a difference in the calories or say white rice compared to brown rice ?

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: I often use this technique at home to cook proteins. It shortens cooking time by using steam as a heat transfer medium to cook the top of the item at the same time as the bottom.You can also use this method on frittatas, dumplings, etc.You can also use flavored liquids to impart flavor as well. I particularly like hard cider with chicken and pork.  <sep>  Q: Why do fry cooks use water to cook burgers? A: It shortens cooking time by using steam as a heat transfer medium to cook the top of the item at the same time as the bottom  Q: Should I be doing this at home? A: You can also use this method on frittatas, dumplings, etc 

SOLUTION: What do you use the trap the steam in?

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Personally I'd suggest blanching your pasta. By blanching:I mean get a big pan of heavily salted water on a rolling boil. Drop your pasta into the water, give it a stir.After 1 min or when the water has come back to boil drain the pasta off.At this point your pasta will still be el' dante but not raw which is what I suspect the directions are suggesting when they say "2 min less than instructed" then just use it at the mixing with sour cream step.If you were to just use the pasta freshly made it will likely not have the texture desired. Boiling it will help moisten it up and start to cook the flour.  <sep>  Q: Is using homemade pasta instead of dried in a bake recommended? A: it will likely not have the texture desired 

SOLUTION:
Will the noodles be too soft?
