I am amazed upon hearing and reading some ways in cooking rice for food, and there is really a variation from place to place, culture to culture.. like the half-cooked type(in Israel) and pouring some additives like salt. Basic and simple way is buy just adding plane water to it, varying the water depending on the outcome you may want. Adding aromatic flavor may also be done by placing some pandan or banana leaves at the bottom of rice pot.. Nice share!
