A discussion on washing rice before cooking it has sparked on PTT, where opinions vary on how many times rice should be washed. While some believe washing until the water turns clear indicates cleanliness, others argue that washing until the starch disappears is necessary, with some claiming that better washing leads to better rice texture. However, experts suggest a quick rinse and controlling the amount of water, recommending typically only 2 to 3 washes. It's emphasized that rice washing should be gentle without excessive rubbing, and ideally limited to 2-3 times for quality rice grains, as over-washing may lead to nutrient loss.
