Steam Rice

I recently learn a trick on how to cook small amount of rice. Instead of cooking rice with the rice cooker, we can steam the rice with the wok, just like the way we steam our fish, meat, etc...

Method:
1. Wash some rice and put the rice on a metal plate. Add water. (1 cup rice = 1 cup water)
2. Steam for ~10 mins or until rice is cooked.
3. If you prefer softer texture, you can soak the washed rice in some water and keep in the fridge overnight.

It's really easy and saves on electricity. And the best part is there is less cleaning to do! It's quite difficult to cook small amount of rice with the rice cooker so what I did in the past was to cook more rice and then cook fried rice the next day with the leftover rice. Now with this method, I can even cook rice for 1 person!
