There are many varieties of rice, and one way of cooking it is by boiling or steaming. Do you peek when steaming rice? We are supposed to let the cooked rice steam for about 15 minutes or so before opening the lid to not to let the steam out and lower the temperature during cooking. But right after it is cooked, you can peek a little (naughty) and let it steam your face for few seconds, it is good for the skin, makes face smooth and without pimples, and let the facial skin ‘breathe’, unless it is so hot you can’t breath and burn yourself.

Rice is one of the most compatible and versatile foods. These grains which are a good source of protein from a rice grass which originated from semi-aquatic grass in Asia is now the staple of about 70% of the world’s population. America now provides about 12% of world rice trade. And I glad that we can buy rice here from some supermarkets and especially in all Asian stores. Nuts, seeds, beans or meat are good sources of protein but it is best if combined with rice. I love American food but I can’t eat in one day without rice. That is when I feel full.
