Hey so just want to chime in for a sec about the washing rice thing. Yes washing rice can help with taste/texture, and remove stuff from the rice you might not want. But specifically if you are buying ENRICHED white rice you should not be washing it everytime. They actually apply a fortifying mix of vitamins to the rice and washing it removes most of that. This is mostly important if your diet is heavily rice based because it can prevent deficiencies of those vitamins if you keep them in. So just keep in mind what type of rice you are dealing with, and don't assume all of them should be washed.
So yes it can make the rice have a better texture to wash even the enriched kind, but if you just keep the enriched rice as is it'll have some nice health benefits. So it's a trade off situation with that specific type of rice.
