Most asians have a rice cooker at home. It is as common to an Asian home as a mixer to a European one. Anyway C thinks I don't know how to cook rice without a rice cooker. What he doesn't know is that there is a method of measuring the rice and water proportion for any pot without a measuring cup. This has been passed down from generations to generations in my family. It's failproof!

1. Wash the amount of rice you want to cook. Usually 1 cup of 200 grams is enough for 2 people.
2. Using any pot, spread the washed rice as evenly as you can across the base of the pot.
3. Measure the depth of the layer of rice with your finger. The amount of water you put into the pot should be up to the same depth, but measuring it from the surface of the rice. So for example, if the depth of the rice layer is about 1 cm from the bottom of the pot, the water level should be another 1cm above the rice layer.
4. Boil for about 20mins.
