Making steamed rice without a rice cooker

This post is for my own reference. I never know how to make a good pot of steamed rice right without a rice cooker, until my friend recently showed me how. 

Fried Rice

This is a very popular dish that is now very well known anywhere. Here is my twist on the classic Asian dish.

Born and raised in Asia, I cooked my first fried rice at age 12; and even though others may not be as familiar with this dish, I wouldn't say it is a challenge. A co-worker of mine (she was Italian), once asked me how to make fried rice. I told her the steps quickly and she was so confused with lots of questions. Later I found out that, from her point of view, I missed out a lot of steps. Because I have grown up with this dish, the little steps may slip over me head, so bear with me!
