Delicious Korean Steamed White Rice

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

If you the best-tasting and the most perfect rice that you will ever taste, then try this method, and you will have it, I promise. Tip: It must be Korean OR Japanese style white rice in order to achieve this quality, you can find it in any Asian section of your supermarket.

Ingredients:

Yield: 3 cups co ...

• 2 cups medium grain rice (Korean OR Japanese style)

Directions:

2. Transfer cleaned rice to a bowl; cover with more very cold water (not ice water), and let soak for 2-3 hours.
3. Drain rice, and transfer to a saucepan.

I haven't made it quite like this yet but it sounds very similar to what my Korean mother-in-law used to do. She of course used a rice cooker as do we. The key to her rice & yours is the rinsing at the beginning & the soaking. She only soaked hers for 15-20 minutes before starting the rice cooker.
