Use Minute Rice.......LOL! Liz the Squeak let slip on the animal noises thread that she can do Old MacDonald in Latin......now there is a talent!!

The real trouble with rice is that cooking it concerns how much moisture is in the dry rice,where is came from, the humidity,barometric pressure, your altitude, and no doubt phases of the moon. Short grain Japanese rice is supposed to be sticky. Basmati is not. Minute Rice is actually pretty terrible. If you are making Callas out of the cooked rice, then you want it to be sticky, also, so you can form it into balls.
