Told my sister her 50 cent rice trick was dumb... yeah I was wrong
She kept saying to rinse your rice 3 times before cooking to stop it from getting mushy. Tried it last night with a 2 dollar bag of jasmine rice and it came out perfect for once, not a clump in sight. Anyone else got a cheap hack they ignored forever?

My aunt told me to add a splash of vinegar to the water for years and I thought she was crazy. Tried it once and now my rice doesnt get that weird smell after sitting in the fridge. Funny how the simple stuff we ignore is usually the stuff that actually works.

Oh man, I read this exact thing in a cooking blog last month. The lady who wrote it said rinsing gets rid of the excess starch that turns rice into glue. I always thought it was a waste of water, but I tried it with some cheap store brand rice and it was a game changer. Seriously fluffy, no more sad sticky clumps. Now I'm that person who rinses rice like I'm in a ritual or something.

Hmm, I actually don't rinse my rice. I like it a little sticky for most things, especially if I'm eating it with a saucy dish. Rinsing too much just makes it dry and separate for my taste.
