Angel81 1 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 I normally eat abt 1/2 bowl of rice and my hb abt 1.5bowl of rice. So I'll use abt 1 1/3 cup each time. Shake the rice to make it settle down after washing and adding water. Put ur palm flat on the rice. The water should submerge ur hand until ur middle knuckles. After cooking, if it's alittle too wet for ur liking, scrape the rice with a fork to encourage evaporation and keep the lid open for awhile. The water will evaporate and rice will become slightly less wet. Hope it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
