[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but because DH insist, he says this is necessary to clean it and make it taste better. FWIW he is Asian and in his home country rice is a huge staple, not sure if its a cultural thing.[/quote] I'm Asian and my mom always rinsed rice. Is it really necessary to rinse it though to get it clean? You boil the water anyway - won't that sanitize it? [/quote] I rinse basmati rice to help make the grains separate. If I don't rinse, it's stickier.[/quote] South Asian here and I rinse five or 6 times ( fill bowl with water, swish, change water) and soak basmati rice. It removes the starch (or whatever is the stuff that makes the grains stick together and be mushy) and soaking helps elongate each grain.[/quote]
