**It is the Chinese custom to rinse rice five or six times in large quantities of water before cooking to remove excess starch. This process results in the fresh-tasting, light -textured rice that is the backbone of Chinese cuisine. If not rinsed, the rice will clump and will not be as tender. White rice can be fully cooked ahead of time and refrigerated reheat in the microwave or by steaming.
