Cooking All Types of Rice

The best way to prepare rice to reduce the arsenic level by about 30% is as follows:

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice well, rubbing the grains to get the excess starch off them. Rinse for 4 to 5 changes of water until the water is clear
  • Soak in water overnight, discard the soaking water before cooking.
  • Cook the rice in a large pot of boiling water, much like cooking pasta, using 5 to 6 parts of water to rice. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, testing for doneness as you would pasta.
  • Drain well and rinse with hot water before serving.

Notes

This cooking method also eliminates the soggy, stuck rice in the bottom of  the pot - oh happy day!
