Cooking Tip

Chinese White Rice

Chinese white rice can be found in most supermarkets and is usually packaged in paper containers. For best results when cooking Chinese white rice, use a heavy bottomed saucepan, and do not add salt or butter. Depending on the brand and package directions, you may find rinsing the rice several times will yield less sticky finished rice. For stir-fried rice, use rice that has been prepared the day before and refrigerated overnight.
