### **Why Washing Rice is Essential**
Before cooking, washing rice is an important step that many people overlook. Here’s why it’s crucial:
1. **Removes Excess Starch**: Rice grains are coated with starch, which can make the rice sticky or clump together when cooked. Washing removes this excess starch, resulting in fluffy and separate grains.
2. **Eliminates Impurities**: Washing ensures that dust, debris, or any other impurities are removed.
3. **Improves Taste and Texture**: Clean rice tastes fresher and has a better texture after cooking.

### **Step 1: How to Wash Rice**
1. **Measure the Rice**: Start by measuring the amount of rice you need, typically 1 cup of rice for 2 servings.
2. **Rinse with Cold Water**: Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer or a bowl. Rinse it under cold running water, swirling the rice around with your fingers. The water will initially appear cloudy, indicating the starch is being removed.
3. **Repeat the Process**: Continue rinsing until the water runs clear. This usually takes about 3–4 rinses.
4. **Drain Well**: Once the rice is clean, drain it thoroughly to remove excess water.
