Throw your measurement cup away.

How to cook rice without measuring how much water or how many cup of rice in the measuring cup. This is too sciencetific.
There is a simple way.
Now you can cast your measurement cup away. Professional cook do not use measurement. It's a waste of time and safe you from washing your dishes.
1) put rice inside your cooking pot
2) pull lots of cold water into the pot with rice and start to squeez the starch out of the rice in the pot. Then drain it. Repeat over again about 2 or 3 times until you hardly see any milky liquid in the rice. You know it's ready.
3) pull cold water over the rice about an inch(just picture water cover your finger nail) Remember do not over drown your rice otherwise you get gluey and sticky rice.
4) put your rice pot on the stove with lid on and turn on high heat. keep an eye on the pot, as soon as the water in to pot start boiling, sim it right away, as low heat as possible. 15-20 minutes later you get perfect non stick rice.
Remember the more water you put in the pot the rice become sticky. Make sure you rinse the rice in cold water several times. It's the starch and the more water put, the rice become gluey or sticky.
