Steamed Rice (korean Bab) Recipe

Ingredients

Directions

1. Pour the rice into a cooking pot.
2. Fill the pot nearly to the brim with cold water, then pour the water out.
3. The rice will remain at the bottom of the pot.
4. Repeat this process 4 or 5 times, or until the water seems quite clear.
5. Rinsing the rice in this manner eliminates any excess starch.
6. Cover the rice with 2 cups water and let it stand for 30 minutes.
7. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and steam for 20 minutes or until dry.
8. Generally speaking, if Americans are to be served, use 1/2 cup uncooked rice for each person.
9. Double the amount if cooking for Koreans, especially Korean men.
