Is that the only way of removing starch? ... i'm not sure if this is another way, but please tell me if it is ... u boil the rice until it becomes long and seems to be half cooked .. throw the water and then boil again until cooked and then throw access water again?

@aishoooo: Well, honestly, never heard of that. But have heard that you throw away the water when 1/2 cooked and then just close the lid and allow the rice to cook in it's oven heat...

all though getting rid of the majority of the starch might improve the texture of the rice to your personal taste i would ask you to list me some of the reasons why you seem to associate less starch with a health benefit .....i for one have seen many benefits associated with high starch diets but regardless....if you have references for me to indicate that too much starch is detrimental to one's health i would be grateful for the opportunity to research them thanks :p

Use the water for making soup.

I will try this technique, for one person tho what are the ratios, I have been cooking it like this: wash it until water runs clear, half cup of rice, one cup of water, salt, bring water to boil with rice turn to simmer cover, and cook for 8 mins, leave covered for 10 mins, rice tuns out grainy looking, like the outside isn't smooth!

no spices?

thats an interesting way to make rice. I've never done it that way. I usually boil the rice and the cover it, lower the heat to low, and then cook for 20 minutes. I shall try this method sometime! Thx!
