minus-squareKorhaka@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 hours agoWhy do people wash rice? Never really bothered with it. 2:1 usually works pretty nicely, get the water boiling add the rice and put it on low. Come back when ready. Or like 4-5 to 1 with milk and have it as rice pudding/porridge.
