beans and rice



Ham hoc in water


Soaked pinto beans in a jar



Ham hoc cooked, beans begin cooking.


Beans, cooked



How to make perfect white rice.

One cup short grain rice, rinse briefly in cold water


Two cup water, bring to full boil


Reduce heat to as low as possible, steam rice for 25 minutes. A timer is essential.


Kill heat, continue steaming off heat for 10 additional minutes. Do not open top to check progress as this will release the steam, and you don't want that.


Ta daaaaa.  Cooked rice
