Wish I had this recipe when I started making rice for the first time! It was not easy to do it right at all! A little too much water, and the rice will end up being too wet (almost like a thick porridge), too little water and the rice will be very hard to eat.
Today its my mother’s birthday, and i decided to make rice for the first time. I cook a lot, but i have never made rice before. My mom literally cried after the first bite, she was astonished, and i was really freaking happy and grateful. Thank you, you are definately an inspiration to me. Greetings, and again, thank you.
Way to go Heloise. I understand about having cooked for years and having not cooked a common thing like rice before. I was like that with coffee.
