You will mess up water ratios. It’s okay. Rice is forgiving if you’re patient. Even the worst batch can be saved with butter, salt, and a little willpower.
Next time you’re staring at a pot of simmering water and rice, close the lid, walk away, and trust the process. You’re not just cooking—you’re building tiny fluffy towers of flavor.
And if all else fails, order takeout. No shame. Just remember: the water was probably the culprit. It always is.
