    My asian coworkers laugh at me when I tell them this. They just use rice cookers and the 'finger method' where they stick their fingers in the pot and it should be up to your first knuckle rice, and second knuckle water (or some shit like that, I dono).

    My indian coworker on the other hand says she makes it like pasta which is wild to me. She literally cooks rice in a big pot of boiling water and strains it. Never tried that method.
    I've seen the finger method when using a pan on the stove top. Seems to me we all have different fingers so I don't trust methods like that.

    eg Tiny Asian lady finger height makes X-amount, hal's fat sausage fingers makes X(2)-amount

    My old east Indian coworkers were rice masters, they brought it almost every day for lunch. Or I should say their wives were rice masters

    Indian coworkers are the shit. The ones at our office are too generous, they bring in food for everyone a few times a year, home cooked rice and chana (the curried chickpea dish), butter chicken, all the fixings, unreal samosas from the secret bakery only they know about. It's heaven.

    I see nothing specifying the manor of cooking said rice, just the best way to do it.

    I outlined in the opening post I'm not talking about instant rice and/or using a rice cooker.

    If I wanted advice on instant rice I'd call up Uncle Ben
