>good choice of rice if you like it dry and stiffI drop the heat to the minimum just before the boil, the residual heat carries on the water to simmer, and I let the rice and water simmer for 15min. Once I come back, the water's mostly gone, but I don't know if I added too little water (I just know it's vague 1.5 proportion water to rice or so) so I quickly open the lid, spoon out some rice, and close the lid. I eat the rice and if it's too dry I just add more water – like I did with this batch – and turn off the heat and let it steam for extra time, i.e. more than the usual 10 minutes which one should do if they haven't added more water. I like it on the dry side but not actually dry and DEFINITELY not stiff. But yes, I tried parboiled (long grain white) and sushi rice and I like basmati for fried rice the most.
