Uncle bens and minute rice is either parboiled or precooked and dehydrated. "plain ole" white rice takes 20 minutes or so to cook... Instant rice more like 5.
I "learned" the difference when cooking for my ex sil who was from Japan. That is when I got a rice cooker! Couldn't live without one now  |
That is exactly my method for "measuring" out the liquid.
