So, should you stir rice while cooking? Only if you want a gluey, sad, clumpy mess. Leave that spoon in the drawer. Your job is to boil water, add rice, cover, and then walk away.
Use that time to chop veggies, take a deep breath, or scroll through cat memes. The rice will reward your trust. When you finally lift that lid, you’ll see fluffy, perfect grains staring back at you, ready to be eaten.
And if you mess up? Call it “risotto” and pour on some sauce. We’ve all been there. Now go forth, don’t stir, and enjoy your carb-y, glorious dinner. You’ve got this.
