Wow this was nice! I gave my rice cooker to my girlfriends mom, (her’s finally quit working after 35 years) they are Chinese from Taiwan. I figured I could wing it but your article really saved me some frustration! Thank You!

I love the 1st knuckle measurement for the water level, works every time, and, like you said, it works for any volume of rice you want to make.

In reply to Susie. Glad you enjoy my recipe Susie! I haven't cooked brown rice but as far as I know, you'd need more water and cook it a little longer.

I have used this stove-top method several times now and it has worked perfectly, as long as I pay attention to when the water has cooked down level with the rice. I would like to try cooking brown jasmine rice this way. Anyone have suggestions?

Well, that was easy. I was dubious at first to use the “first knuckle” gauging enough water method, but I knew you had way more experience than me…so I gave it a try

Absolutely PERFECT sticky rice. And I mean PERFECT.

Your instructions are spot on.

I will always make my rice this way in the future.

In reply to Stacey. I agree with you. There is no need to have another appliance just for making rice. Glad you find my recipe helpful.

Thank you for teaching me to make perfect rice without a rice cooker! 😊 I didn’t want one more appliance in my kitchen that was only used on occasion. I now make perfect sticky rice every time. Why aren’t these the instructions on the package?

Thanks again, I look forward to trying ore if your recipes.
