Rice

Lave o arroz e coloque em uma panela pequena com tampa com volume o dobro de água, (I use a liquid measuring drug for both the rice and the water ) e uma pitada de sal. Deixe ferver com a tampa fora, reduzir o calor a um nível baixo e cozinhe com a tampa para 20 minutes for brown basmati or 30 minutes to make sticky rice from regular brown rice.

Do not stir!

If its ready before the everything else remove from the heat, remover a tampa, coloque uma toalha limpa T por cima e recoloque a tampa e deixe ficar assim, more water is removed.

Using the liquid measuring jug allow 100 to 150ml per person as an accompaniment (more if the rice is the star of the show).

Extra vegetables can be added to the dish by adding frozen peas for example for the last five minutes of cooking. Chopped potatoes can also be cooked along with the rice for the same amount of time.

A tablespoon or so of red or wild rice is also tasty and colourful mixed in withe any other type of rice
