Please teach me how to cook asian food!

Is it possible to cook regular rice (not just sticky) without a rice cooker?

I've been considering learning how to make fried rice at home for awhile, but decent rice cookers seem kind of expensive. I don't typically cook much since I live alone and don't usually find it to be worth the effort, but if I can make fried rice and have it come out okay a few times then I'd be willing to buy one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, the question was asking more how difficult it is to cook in a pot rather than a rice cooker. Everyone I know who makes rice uses a rice cooker, and everyone in this thread had been giving directions based on using one as well. Obviously it's possible through many methods.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
