"This is how all the cooks in the town of TongDu Chon Ne, north of Seoul; Korea, cook their rice. It works every time. It works the same for women and men. Children's hands are a little too small to do this."

NOTE: The key is the right height of the water over the rice. You can't have the rice too deep or it gets sticky. If you need more rice, use a larger pan. We have one pan that makes just enough for one meal. It also is the exact size for one bowl of popcorn.. but that is another story. If you have artificial or just long nails, don't do this. I always use my first finger.
