First off if you want good rice you have to buy good rice. In most American grocery stores they sell long grain rice, in Chinese cooking they use medium or short grain rice. Go to an Asian store and look for calrose rice if they don't have it you'll have to try a few brands until you find one you like. My suggestion is you buy a rice cooker you can get them at just about any department store for around twenty dollars and even some grocery stores if you have a high Asian population in your community. Follow the directions that come with your rice cooker and it will be perfect every time.
