Tabasco sauce, onion juice, a bit of garlic or grated horseradish for seasoning. }/2 teaspoon salt. Mash up the cheese, add the oil, and beat with a Dover egg beater.

Wash the rice thoroughly to remove all loose starch. A good rule is to wash the rice in several waters or in a stream from the faucet, until the water runs clear. Have ready a large kettle of boiling water lightly salted. Four or five quarts of water to 1 cup of rice is the best proportion for flaky boiled rice. Drop the rice in slowly. Allow it to boil rapidly for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the grains are soft to the center when pressed between the thumb and forefinger. If the rice tends to stick, lift it from time to time with a fork, but do not stir the rice. Stirring breaks the grains and makes the cooked rice pasty. As soon as the grains are soft to the center take the rice off the stove and drain in a colander. Cover the colander with a cloth and place it in the oven ; or, if the oven is not hot, set the colander over a saucepan of hot v/ater on the back of the stove and cover the colander with a cloth. This gives the rice grains a change to dry off and swell to their utmost. If you have no suitable kettle that holds 4 or 5 quarts of water you can cook 1 cup of rice successfully in 2 quarts. Watch it carefully, and when you turn the cooked rice into the colander to drain, pour hot water through it to wash off the surplus starch that sticks to the grains. Then cover the colander and let the rice dry off and swell as already described.
