Serves: 5

Undercooked Rice. Cause: Rice not cooked long enough and has a hard, white center.

Perfectly Cooked Rice. There are no problems with this rice the grains remain fluffy and separate and are tender but still firm to the bite.

Overcooked Rice. Cause: Cooking rice too long causes the grains to split open or fall apart, and the texture becomes mushy.
