i used to use my index finger, now i'm all about different ratios of water to rice depending on the grain because i'm fancy. we've got a 25 lb bag of jasmine we're working through that i do 3water:2rice + 1T butter + 1/2 t salt.
Current project is good garlic rice, so i've been sauteing up some garlic butter (for 1 cup of rice, 10 cloves in 4T butter, then adding all the cloves and 1T of the garlic butter), but it's not quite garlicky enough. I'm not sure whether i need more cloves or to make the butter more garlicky somehow.
You and my dad would get along great. He uses a whole bulb; his fried rice version has this toasted garlic flavor that’s just tasty.
My SIL adds Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic with her garlic rice (I dont remember if it’s a teaspoon or tablespoon).
Another version we learned was adding a combo of grated garlic and baked garlic; they both have different yet distinct flavors. That’s my aunt’s version and she uses chicken broth (Alton Brown’s recipe).
Lol on the fancy… good for you. You’re right though, different kinds of rice require different amounts of water. We already got that lecture from our grandparents a looooong time ago.
we went to the greek festival a couple weekends ago and came home with a whole quart of fresh toum. i'm about halfway through and the cats are about used to my new smell
