Broken rice grains are mixed in with whole rice grains in the U.S., and
sold as rCLlowrCagrade ricerCY for certain markets. I don't think you'll
be finding this in the premium rice you buy at your local supermarket.

Back in the old days, the rice would be fortified by coating kernels with vitamins
and mixing it in with the regular rice. People would see the occasional grains that
were darker in color and discard them. I don't think that the rice I buy is a
fortified rice-bomb product. For one thing, I'd notice if a grain was a different
shape and be very alarmed. OTOH, I don't eat a lot of rice.

Huh, I don't think I'd think anything of it. If I noticed it, I'd
probably just figure it was a slightly deformed grain.

What about Laotians and Myanmarese?
I don't really know. The Koreans and Japanese will rinse and drain their rice multiple times before cooking it. I can't say with the Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese people will do to clean their rice. Most Americans don't bother to wash rice before cooking. I told my granddaughter to rinse and drain the water
5 or 6 times. People always say to rinse the water until the water gets clear. I
don't know why people say that. The truth is it never gets clear.

I grew up in Hawaii so I always assumed everyone rinsed their rice to get rid of all the extra starch in addition to cleaning. Sometimes I just
throw it into the Japanese Rice Maker as it without rinsing and I can't
tell the difference but I don't have very much discernment.

My husband adds butter and salt while it's cooking. Once in a great

Of course, because all the people on the mainland at culturally
homogeneous. There are no regional dishes ethnic communities, no Little Italy, no Chinatown, no soul foods. Those mainlanders are all the same.

My post was a response to Mrs Hamilton. You know how the Hawaiians cook rice.
What Mrs Hamilton doesn't know is that the Hawaiians are culturally different
from the people on the mainland.
Of course, because all the people on the mainland at culturally

Italy, no Chinatown, no soul foods. Those mainlanders are all the same.

The chicken looks good. I love Southern fried chicken. The idea of pre-cooking the chicken is a good one. I've sous vide chicken thighs
before frying. It's good but the pieces look funny - the thighs look
bloated. It's what comes with cooking chicken floating in water.
Frankenmuth chicken is a lousy name for something you might want to
eat.

With rice I agree, but with almost anything

bad idea not to give them at least a cursory
examination.
One 'bad' nut in a mouthfull will completely
spoil the taste; possibly requiring an
