Cooking of rice is very important skill in chinese cooking. The rice cannot be too hard and the rice cannot be too soft. Chinese likes their rice to be just nice and has to be whole.
THere are many brands of rice and in order to have a good cook of the rice, comes from the choice of the rice. In the regular super market like NTUC or Giant, you can find many brands available. Brands which are good and highly recommended are SongHe Frant RIce, and Royal Phoenix, Double Phoenix, Golden Phoenix.
Buy the regular type and not new crop.
Get a standard measuring cup or just a regular cup. On average, one person eats about half a cup of rice. So if you are cooking for a family or 4, then 2 cups will be sufficient. If there is a biggr eater in the family, perhaps adding it just a little more will do.
Note that this rice is uncook and once its cook, they will expand and the rice will be more.
Now how much water to put.?
Remember the formula, 1-2, regardless the size of the cup you are using, for every 1 cup of rice, you will need to add in 2 cups of water. FIll it to the rim of the cup and make sure its 2 cup. So if you are cooking 1.5 cups of rice for 3 people, then you will need 3 cups of water.
