Recipe Notes
Don Quixote is right: never stir rice while it is cooking (unless you’re making risotto with Arborio rice). It doesn’t matter how you cook it, stirring it breaks down the starches on the outer layer and turns the rice to a gooey paste. Simply place the rice in the boiling liquid, stir once and cover. Leave it alone until the water is evaporated.
