Blake, that is, more or less, exactly what I wrote earlier, and I have
been cooking rice that way for over forty years, ever since I learned it
from a Chinese gentleman! Who owned a Chinese restaurant, where he would
ask me to ccok, on ocasion! As I said, I have a perfectly useless rice
cooker, which sits on a shelf, gathering dust, while I cook rice the
Chinese way, perfectly! Cheers, Doug in BC (and the leftover rice, a
couple of days later is just fabulous for chow fan(flied lice)
