How is rice normally cooked?
A. Normally, rice is cooked by simply boiling it in water. Methods of cooking rice, however, vary not only with the different types of rice but with the preferences of the cook and the individual rice eaters. For example, in Japan, plain, sticky rice is eaten at every meal; in India, rice is cooked dry and separate and is mixed with fat, nuts, and spices; in South America, rice is cooked dry and often topped with a spicy, saucy mix of red beans.
