Cooking Rice Korean Style
I cooked one of my chili con carnes for myself ,my son and one of his friends today. As the friend is Korean, he cooked the rice and it was delicious. He cooked it from scratch and interestingly, the method he used was very similar to the one Waitrose put on their packet of organic long grain rice. He did wash the rice more thoroughly in a sieve than I would and I think he used more rice and a bit more water. But who cares? It worked!
So next time you want to cook rice, have a go and cook it properly, rather than using a microwave.
As the rice was so good, next time he comes, I’ll video a master in action! Would this be a first of a Korean cooking rice on an AGA?
Whilst on the subject of chili con carne, check out Wikipedia. There are some interesting and controversial ideas there. To me chili always has kidney beans, but that is not allowed by some. There is this statement.
Chili Appreciation Society International specified in 1999 that, among other things, cooks are forbidden to include beans, marinate any meats, or discharge firearms in the preparation of chili for official competition.
I’m certainly with them on firearms.
I also found that the chili was a good mouth freshener in the same way as the Waitrose Tiffin

Not sure what purists would think of the chili we make in our house, which is often vegan with lots of beans! We dont however discharge guns.
