Question: is chewy rice undercooked or overcooked?
Answer: If the rice is very hard and chewy in the middle (under cooked) just add enough water to create a little steam (about 1/4 cup/ less}. Put the lid on and cook the rice on very low heat for another 5 minutes. It will turn out just right, not overcooked. (Hard rice is bad for digestion and not enjoyable to eat).
