Description

With this method of boiling, the rice will come out grain for grain, firm but cooked and free of excess starchy residues. No more gummy rice that sticks together in globs.

Ingredients

  • 14 cups Water
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 cups Long Grain Rice

Preparation

1. Fill a 6 quart pot with 14 cups of water. Do not alter the water volume.

2. Bring the water to a boil and add 2 teaspoons of salt.

3. When the water is boiling rapidly, pour in up to 4 cups of rice. “Up to 4 cups”; you can boil a half-cup or 4 cups, it makes no difference.

4. When the water comes back to a boil, reduce the heat but keep the water actively bubbling, and begin to consider your cooking time.

5. As the rice cooks, you should continue to stir the rice every 2 or 3 minutes to distribute the heat also you need not cover the pot while the rice is boiling.

6. It should take no more than 15 minutes for the rice to be completely, perfectly cooked.

7. Taste a few grains of the rice to be sure there are no hard centers.

8. When the rice tastes cooked to you, immediately take it off the heat, pour it into a colander and rinse well with hot water.

I had no idea this was a New Orleans thing! My mom has always made rice this way. I honestly thought she just made it up because I’ve never met anyone else to make it this way.
