how much water do you add to rice?

Answer 1

When I was taught to make rice you have a rule of thumb.Rinse the rice and then put water in the pot,to measure the water level use your thumb.Put the tip of your thumb on the top of the rice when the water reaches your knuckle(about an inch) that is plenty.Put the salt in it and cook.I've used this method for 41 years..I passed it down to my family...

Answer 2

Instant rice - 1 cup rice + 1 cup water

Regular white rice* - 1 cup rice + 1-1/2 cup water

*Be sure to wash the rice BEFORE cooking

Answer 3

1 cup of water to 1 1/2 cups rice

Answer 4

2 parts water - 1 part rice

Answer 5

usually, you should add 2 parts water to 1 part rice, because the rice expands and some water boils off.

Answer 6

You add 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice,and a dash of salt,cover the pot,when the rice boils turn it to low for 10 minoutes, your rice should come ut perfect.

Answer 7

well, I add enough rice so that when I stick my finger in the rice cooker (above the rice). The water above the rice almost reaches the knuckle. My BF taught me this and my rice comes out right now....

Answer 8

If it's instant rice...you use equal parts. If it's long cooked white rice, use twice the water as rice. If it's long cooked brown rice, it's twice the water as rice plus one tablespoon of water per cup of rice. (2 cups of brown rice = 4 cups water + 2 tablespoons water).

Answer 9

It's always two to one (water to rice) for regular (not instant) rice. If you're going to stir-fry the rice and want it less sticky, use a little bit less water.

Answer 10

If it is the instant type, you add equal parts of water and rice.
