The day I stopped rinsing my rice after cooking it, I finally got fluffy grains instead of sticky clumps.
Turns out rinsing before cooking was making me wash off all the starch that keeps it from turning into paste, and my broke college roommate who grew up on a rice farm tipped me off after watching me mess up 4 batches. Store brand jasmine rice is the same as fancy stuff here, right?

Oh neat, so I’ve been overcomplicating cheap rice for no reason.

Had the same problem for years until my grandma yelled at me about it. Rinsing before is the real game changer once you get it right.
