hey guys!

today i will show you how to make perfect white rice (in a rice cooker) without using a measuring cup.

while growing up, this is the way that i learned how to make white rice. we didn't have a measuring cup, so we always just used our fingers to figure out how much water to add after rinsing.

enjoy!

• first: pour the rice into the rice cooker bowl
• second: rinse the rice three times
• third: put your fingers in the bowl (as you can see in the video) and fill water to the first knuckle
• next: wipe the outside of the bowl dry
• fifth: set the rice cooker to cook and wait
• last: eat delicious rice!

did any of you also learn and use this technique? sign up and let me know in the comments!

xo,
Sai Borg
