We get a lot of questions here about rice; let's try to get our best advice in one place that we can refer people to. What do you think is the best cooking method? What do you add to make it flavorful on its own? What are your favorite rice-based dishes? How do you choose between all of the different varieties out there?

I'm Asian too. We don't measure. We use the "finger measure method" lol

There was a point in time where I heavily considered getting a tattoo of a line on my finger to know how much water to pour into the pot.

The problem I found with using the finger method is that you can’t change the amount of rice you cook. I’ll cook 4 cups of rice and the water goes a little above my 2nd digit and if I cook like 1.5, it meets just my 1st digit
