To prevent the rice from breaking you may want to do the following:<br />Rinse without agitating the rice too much.<br />Soak the rice for only an hour or two.<br />Don't stir the rice during cooking.<br />When draining, rinse with cool water.<br />Allow the rice to drain well.<br />Cover the lid Azita Mehranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11133913930130298761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986297911698447298.post-88200895267998368722015-02-22T14:30:46.029-05:002015-02-22T14:30:46.029-05:00Hi Azita, can you explain the purpose of soaking t...Hi Azita, can you explain the purpose of soaking the rice in salt water?

I never thought I'd be able to make some that tasted as good, but this was even better!!! Thank you!!! I used lemon instead of lime since that was all I had, but other than that followed the recipe to a T.
