How do I cook rice like the Dominicans?

Question

I don't quite know how it's done but Dominican rice is cooked much better than any other way I know. My ex-girlfriend use to use a plastic bag somehow with a heavy pot in cooking it but I like to be able to make it as good without the plastic.

Answer 1

I went to Catholic school with the School Sisters of St. Dominic - the Dominicans.  I don't remember if they ate a lot of rice.

Answer 2

Over cook it slightly till you get a slight stodgy effect, then leave it to cool for 10 Mins or so, that always works for me.

I also recommend you buy Uncle Ben's boil in the bag rice, it's yummy!

Hope you enjoy your rice hun!

Answer 3

I'm Dominican! Please do not use Uncle Ben's that stuff is horrible. Use Carolina, Canilla, or Goya brand rice. They all come in Long Grain or Medium Grain. I prefer medium but that is entirely up to you. Go to the website it will tell you the best way to make it. HOPE IT HELPS!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

sticky rice ?....

takes more water than regular long grain rice...

1-1/2 cup of water for every cup of rice.
