608. Boiled Rice. Take three quarters of a pound of rice, which wash well in cold water, drain and rub the rice with your hands ; pick out the yel- low grains and specks of black ; then wash the rice again three or four times, changing the water, and rubbing it with the hands. After the last time, pour some cold water over it, and put it in a saucepan on the fire in which there are about five quarts of boil- ing water. Stir with a wooden spoon, and add half a teaspoonful of saltBoiled Rice. Boil the rice rapidly for about twenty minutes, skimming off at intervals the scum which rises. When the rice is soft, drain it, and then pour a little cold water over it, which also drain instantly. Put the rice, without any water, into a saucepan, which half cover, and put at the side of the range. Stir every now and then, and, when the rice is perfectly dry, serve. INDEX. CHAPTER I. Soups.
