Please teach me how to cook asian food!

Got a rice cooker? You're going to need that most importantly. No asian dish is complete without RICE! And I don't mean that instant crap. Screw that. Get a real rice cooker machine from various popular brands like Zojirushi. Buy rice by the sacks! Maybe not sacks, perhaps bags. But they come in their seperated form from their plants. Thousands of them all collected into a nifty bag for you to buy and haul away.

For every cup of rice you put into the cooker, add 1 cup more water than the total. So, if you have 3 cups of rice, you'll need 4 cups of water.

Your rice cooker should be automated in how long it takes to cook the rice. If not, you can always manually time it by 45minutes to 1 hour. After that period of time, you must sitr the rice inside the machine. If you fail to do this step, your rice will come out as dok. (From Korean to English, RICE CAKE!).

If it becomes a rice cake, you will have a harder time enjoying rice. Not only will it practically be harder and much more difficult to seperate with a fork or chopsticks, you probably won't be able to enjoy it at all as you weren't prepared to make rice cake. The end product would have no added flavoring, no snackable fillings (like red beans), and you'll just have wasted time and money. Stiring the rice exposes the inner part of the clump. So as your rice cooker continues to stay on and keep your rice warm/hot, it won't completely evaporate all the moisture added by the water.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
