Please teach me how to cook asian food!

There's also a type of noodle called kueh teow. I've no idea what's the name in English but it can be cooked like fried rice or made into noodle soup and so on. And there's one that looks like rat tails that I've only seen occasionally and have no idea what it's called.

And you can cook rice without a rice cooker though it's harder. You can put the same amount of rice and water as you would in a rice cooker in a small pot and then put the whole thing into a bigger pot with water (double boil) it... should take about 45 minutes? tat way the rice wouldn't get burnt and would still come out nice. If you cna't be bothered, just cook it in a pot over the stove but make sure the heat is not too high or it'll be burnt and u'll have to watch over it carefully as it might occasionally boil over. Over you can always make porridge with it. Just add loads of water and keep on stirring to make sure it doesn't get burnt. cook it till it's cooked thorough and it also depends on what sort of consistency you prefer it to be. I prefer it nice thick and gooey so it takes quite long to get the rice grains to disintegrate a lil... i prefer medium grain but long grain would do as well. And different types of rice taste different, I quite like thai fragrant rice the smell is appetizing!

btw... here's one site I found tat has a few recipes there .. it's singaporean i think

The recipes in the later tend to be a bit complicated at times but you can always use substitutes for the ingredients required and leaving out some stuff is ok .. hope this helps
