I got one of those rice washing bowls from amazon a couple years ago and it really was a game changer for me. I just put the rice in and rinse it for 30 seconds or so, drain out the excess water and dump it in a rice cooker. So easy and the rice comes out amazing every time. I could never go back to instant rice at this point

I cook so much rice I got a like this

u/b_Eridanus · 7 pointsr/whatisthisthing

They're made by Daiso Japan, by the way, and they seem to show up on eBay a good bit, or https://www.amazon.com/Daiso-Maneki-Neko-Lucky-Rice/dp/B00IQX9Z3Q amazon.

Rinse the rice first, that will help with the brown. You can buy a strainer bowl that helps with this, I'll find a link.

Try using 2/3 rice to 1 water. (More water) that should help with coming out dry.

Best of luck.

I, too, noticed the plates. What's with the plates?

Ah, wait, I have found them! But they are out of stock!

I am tired of waiting so I'll make a budget matcha set for you:

[Rice Bowl $7.6] (http://www.amazon.com/Smiling-Blue-Porcelain-Rice-Bowl/dp/B0042J0R7Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412653136&sr=8-2&keywords=rice+bowl) you can find this cheaper, but I'll post this for convience. while a proper chawan has a wider base that is better for whisking the matcha, this type of bowl could work. Generally chawans are $20 and up.

[Bamboo whisk$11.88] (http://www.amazon.com/1x-BambooMN-Brand-Chashaku-preparing/dp/B003VSEG7Q/ref=sr_1_3?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1412653207&sr=1-3&keywords=matcha+bowl) (+ Chashaku & spoon) you can find cheaper whisks for around $5 or more expensive ones from Japan that generally are of a better quality. Some people use milk frothers or normal cooking whisks, both can be used, but won't be as effective.

Right now we are at $19.48, the cheapest matcha at o-cha is the [Uji Organic Matcha] (http://www.o-cha.com/uji-organic-matcha.html) for $10.56, slightly more expensive and in my oponion a more friendly matcha is the [Uji Matcha Kiri No Mori] (http://www.o-cha.com/uji-matcha-kiri.html) at $12.74. If this is your first time making matcha, I wouldn't recommending purchasing anything over $15 there.


Bonus accessories that are useful, but not necessary is the [Matcha Sifter for $14.56] (http://www.o-cha.com/matcha-furui.html) and the [bamboo whisk stand] (http://www.o-cha.com/matcha-whisk-keeper.html) for $4.73.

Also if you want to practice your whisking skills I reccomend getting a powdered green tea [like Teavivre's] (http://www.teavivre.com/organic-green-tea-powder/).

When we eat rice with chopsticks, the rice is placed into a small bowl where we can scoop it up.

Something like this

And in bowls like this or this or this or even this

My dude, just get bowls with straws in them.

u/kasubot · 2 pointsr/PressureCooking

Ive gotten perfect rice every time with this. Another thing that helped out was getting a rice washing bowl super cheap and doubles as a vessel to defrost things under running water since it drains slowly.

u/2Skies · 2 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

I picked up one of these "Japanese Washing Bottom Drainers" rice strainers on the cheap and it is DEFINITELY worth the coin to strain rice and quinoa. It's not metal so you won't run the risk of chipping away at the hulls of the grain if you get playful with the washing.

No affiliate link above, just good vibes for good grains :)

I know it's kind of a specialized tool but they make strainers specifically for rice. They drain slow so you can see how clear the water is. The holes are small so no rice gets through. And it has a strainer/spout to pour off excess water.

You can use it as a normal colander too so it's not just sitting there for nothing.

u/Razaroozle · 2 pointsr/JUSTNOMIL

The trick to sticky rice, not sushi rice, is to wash it really well, until the water runs clear. I use a big bowl and a rice strainer since in my sink it's hard to tell when it's clear enough. Then let it soak in water for 30 minutes. After that dump the water and put it in a pot. Add about 1/2 inch more water than rice to the pot. Then turn the burner on high with a lid covering the pot. Cook on high for about 15-20 minutes. You will most likely burn it on the bottom the first few times but you'll get the hang of it and your stove/pots. Be sure to use a wooden/ soft plastic spoon to scoop the rice so it doesn't break.

Sushi rice is the same but with more steps/ingredients after the rice is done.

u/defdestroyer · 2 pointsr/BuyItForLife

As discussed in the manual for this rice cooker, you only need to wash unpolished white rice. This is because the dehusking process that removes the husk and the bran leaves behind some of both and washing removes these. Polished white rice is already washed for you, and brown, black or wild rice do not need it because their husk and bran have not been removed.

That said, I recommend this washing bowl.

Like, I would write one paragraph and then move to another paragraph without reading what I had already written. And I think I got distracted a few times too.

Anyways, lul, yes, you do need water. It really makes it foolproof though. You get a measuring cup, and then there is a ruler on the inside of the cooking container which shows exactly how much water you need to add for X cups of uncooked rice of various types. You are expected to wash the rice thoroughly too. I use this.

I haven't had mine for long, but I wouldn't be surprised given its relative simplicity and apparent high build quality for it to last a decade. I imagine this brand is as well-known as it is because it is extremely reliable.

It is not a bread bowl, it is a wooden bowl made like a barrel.

I have this one it is awesome and cheap I highly recommend

Inomata Japanese Rice Washing Bowl with Side and Bottom Drainers, Clear

The holes are small enough that it will fill up without using a second bowl and let you swirl then it drains.

u/magus424 · 1 pointr/instantpot

I bought something like https://smile.amazon.com/Inomata-0800-Japanese-Vegetable-Fruit-8-Inch/dp/B00FYT4VMK/ a while back for it; it's got tiny holes in the bottom for the water to exit but not big enough for the rice grains

Try these. They saved so many shirts during my son's Red Soup phase (Campbell's tomato). He still uses them every day for cereal, and whenever we have soup for dinner/lunch.

u/OMGwho · 1 pointr/reddit.com

You mean these?

I bought mine at a local grocery store when I was little. I feel like they would have them at walmart or a dollar store

I use the IP to make short-grain rice and I did it fine on the first try. Note that if you must eat very fresh tasting rice it still won't be good enough but if you can deal with Asian restaurant rice (the ones that are at last halfway genuine anyway) it should be comparable.

The problem is that i'm using specialized equipment so honestly I don't know how the results would be otherwise.

Scoop 2 cups of rice with the rice cup (if you don't know what this is use a teacup I guess...) and then place it in a bowl to wash it. Run water from the tap on your rice and mix it up with your hands for five to ten seconds, drain the water, then repeat this washing process three to five times.

If we were in my kitchen at this point we would move the rice to the additional stainless pot I linked above but if you don't have one either use any stainless steel bowl large enough to contain the rice or an oven-safe glass bowl. Place 2 cups of purified water specifically from the same cup you used to scoop the rice.

Then after covering that bowl with a lid safe for the IP or with aluminum foil, place the minimum amount of water inside the main pot, a trivet inside of the same pot (if using items not designed for the IP bring the trivet that came with the appliance) and then put the pot/bowl that contains the rice inside of the main stainless pot that comes with every Instant Pot.

This is the Pot-in-Pot method which I use for most situations I use the IP. Essentially because the water that is necessary for the pot to come to pressure is separate from the water used for the rice they will not interfere with each other, the rice won't absorb the water meant to be for keeping the pot under pressure nor will you have to add more water than necessary in order to retain enough of it to keep the IP functioning properly.

Close the IP and then use the rice setting for 12 minutes (assuming quantities are the same, I unfortunately don't know what to tell you for larger or smaller ones) and after it's done let it natural release for at least 10 minutes before releasing the rest of the pressure. This is important because if you do it too soon the rice won't have absorbed enough of the water. Once you take the bowl out it should be ready to serve and can be refrigerated and reheated without losing too much quality.

I think the IP has some kind of automatic sensor for how long it's supposed to cook your rice but honestly I have no clue as to when it wants to or doesn't nor do I know how it even guesses. I only know the necessary steps for making how much rice I personally eat in one day unfortunately as a result.
