Message-ID: <1526@tekig1.UUCP> Date: Sun, 12-Feb-84 01:20:50 EST Article-I.D.: tekig1.1526 Posted: Sun Feb 12 01:20:50 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 10-Feb-84 06:14:51 EST Organization: Tektronix, Beaverton OR Lines: 8 Do you wash rice before you cook it? My mom (Chinese) taught us to wash rice 3 or 4 times, til the water was clear, before steaming it. On the contrary, I have heard that white rice is dusted with various nutrional enrichments, and shouldn\t be washed. Is there a difference in procedure between rice such as "Uncle Ben\s" and the 100 pound rice sacks from an oriental food store?
