Rice has been worshipped for thousands of years. In Japan, the word for “rice” and “meal” is the same: gohan. So, asking for two cups of rice is basically asking for dinner. Deep, man.
Did you know that one grain of rice takes about 3,000 liters of water to grow? That’s a swimming pool for your dinner plate. Makes you appreciate every fluffy bite.
There’s a famous story about a rice cooker that exploded. The owner used too much water. The lid shot to the ceiling. Moral: Respect the ratio.
