In the past I have always been astonished that people would want to steam rice in a pot instead of using a rice cooker. Why, I would wail, would anyone want to add more work into cooking a Chinese dinner! After all, if you wash your rice out well and are careful with the measurements, your rice cooker cooked pot of rice is a beautiful thing.
However, recently we decided to try to Cook Steamed Rice on the Stove 完美的蒸米飯 and I realized at the moment I first tasted the perfect, perfect steamed white rice, that it was soooo worth that little bit of extra effort!
