Notes
Rinse, rinse, and then rinse some more. This is the key to rice that sticky rather than gummy.Finger technique: Add enough water so that when your index finger is resting on top of the rice at the bottom of the pot, the water comes up to your first knuckle. Don't dig your finger down into the rice. Act as if you are simply touching the top of the rice to see what it feels like. Then add water until it comes up to your top knuckle.
