TIPS:
DOES IT MATTER HOW LONG YOU FRY THE RICE IN THE HOT OIL?
If you are using medium-grain rice, simply coating the rice with the oil will turn out fairly sticky, very waxy-textured rice.
Letting it cook until all of the grains have turned from translucent to milky-white, ensures beautifully fluffy rice with separate grains.
Letting the rice cook until it is browned gives it a very nutty taste and the lightest texture, though you may have quite a few broken grains in the finished pot.
DOES THE PAN SIZE MATTER IN RICE COOKING?
Yes. A pan that is too small or large for the quantity of rice you are cooking will adversely affect the texture of the rice, causing it to cook irregularly.
