How do you cook perfect rice?
Tell me the details like what makes yours perfect, why, and your cultural influence if any. I mean, rice is totally different with Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Persian food just to name a few. It is not just the spices or sauces I'm mostly interested in. These matter too. I am really interested in the grain variety and specifically how you prep, cook, and absolutely anything you do after. Don't skip the cultural details that you might otherwise presume everyone does. Do you know why some brand or region produces better ingredients, say so. I know it seems simple and mundane but it really is not. I want to master your rice as you make it in your culture. Please tell me how.
So, how do you do rice?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try your method soon!
The reason I cover mine from the beginning is mostly to reduce the time it takes to come to a boil, especially when I use the small rings on an electric stove. I don't know if that makes a difference in the end result.
Does the rice not get overcooked if you leave it in for 35 min + boiling time?
I should have specified I don't bring it to a full boil. I turn down the heat just when it starts to boil.
Not claiming my method is better than yours! Your method actually sounds quicker, which is a good argument for it.
I didn't think you did :)
I'm happy to explore variations in the never-ending pursuit of perfect rice ;)
