Here’s your cheat sheet. For 1 cup of white rice use 2 cups water. For brown rice use 2.5 cups. For jasmine or basmati use 1.5 cups. For wild rice use 3 cups. For sushi use 1.25 cups. Print this. Tattoo it on your forearm.
And if you mess up? It’s just rice. Throw it in a stir-fry. Make congee. No one is judging you. Except maybe your grandma. But she’s secretly on your side.
Now go forth and boil. Your perfect rice is waiting. And yes, you can have seconds.
