2 tbs. (1 oz.) rice
1 pt. boiling water
1/2 tsp. salt

Soak rice for 1 hour in cold water. Sprinkle into the briskly boiling
water, taking care not to stop the boil. Allow to cook until tender;
test by pressing a grain between thumb and finger; there should be no
hard center. When the rice is done, turn it into a colander and allow
water from cold faucet to run over it to wash off surplus starch.
Return to saucepan place on stove where moisture can be dried out of
the rice without burning it.

RICE (2)

_2-3 servings, 316 calories_

4 tbs. rice
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup milk

Wash rice and soak it in cold water for 1 hour (or overnight). Place
in an earthenware baking dish, cover with the milk, water and salt.
Cover and set in the oven; allow to cook until all of the moisture is
absorbed (if the rice is not done by the time the moisture has
evaporated, add more milk, or milk and water, and continue until the
grains are tender). If the given amount of moisture is not absorbed by
the time the rice is tender, drain off the surplus and return the dish
to the oven for a few moments. Each grain should be separate, when the
dish is prepared correctly.
