밥

Cooking Korean rice

Short-grain, rinse, soak, and the 1:1-ish water that actually works.

Heat: n/a · Vegetarian: yes

Rinse until the water is not milk

Korean 밥 is short- or medium-grain. Rinse 3–4 times. Soak 20 minutes if you have time. Cooker: follow the line. Stovetop: barely cover, lid on, low after boil, 15 minutes, rest 10. Day-old rice is for fried rice; fresh rice is for everything else.
