I finally realized I was washing my rice too much

Been making rice my whole life and always rinsed it like crazy until the water ran clear. My buddy from Vietnam saw me doing it last week and asked why I was stripping all the nutrients out. Turns out you only need to rinse once or twice max to get rid of dust, not till the water is crystal clear. Wish I knew this sooner, anyone else been over-rinsing their rice?

Like the sea" is great until you remember your local tap water varies too.

It's funny how we pick up these kitchen rules and just follow them blindly forever without questioning them. Like how I spent years being told to salt my pasta water "like the sea" before realizing nobody actually measures that.
