Of course, the first thing you gotta do when you're having a Rice Cookin'
Adventure! (tm), is soak your rice. Why, you ask? Well cause.. rice is grown
underwater, see.. and so, it misses it when you harvest it and put it in them
little plastic bags to sell it. After a while, the rice gets all bitter because
it's been taken away from what it loves most in the whole world. And if you just
go ahead and cook the rice, straight from the bag, then your rice tastes bitter.
So what you have to do, see, is soak the rice.. that releives the bitterness,
because the rice is finally back where it belongs.
Also, the rice bag told me to do it.
