my roommate just boils the gently caress out of whatever kind of rice she happens to buy until it's done

I made rice, here was my method (no pics because I ate it yesterday):

3/4 cup store-bought vegetable stock, though chicken would do in a pinch
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
good-sized pat of butter (you can use more or less, depending)

bring stock to boil in a small pot, then add rice and butter. cover and bring heat to low-medium low, then simmer for 18 to 20 minutes. remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.

It was just a little underdone, but it served as a good starting point if I ever decide to make rice again. I enjoyed it with One Piece (sample quote: I'm Luffy. I'm going to become the king of pirates.) and Ryuichi Sakamoto (sample quote: eeeeeeeeeee).

Summary

Rice: 7/10
Overall: *****/*****, highly recommended

All in all a minor success story. I'll leave this thread unlocked in case anyone has anything to add, congratulatory back-pats or whatever.

Truly a rice cooking savant. We should all be so lucky.
