re: What "simple" dish do you struggle with?

Put any amount of rice in a boiler. Cover with water up to the first knuckle of your index finger above the rice. Place over med high heat , add a bit of salt, and over a low boil, reduce the liquid until you can't see the water. Usually takes 6 to 10 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to the lowest level possible, and time for twenty minutes. Fluff with a fork. Perfect rice every time.
