RICE, FLOUR & NOODLES
Rice is the staple food of about 165 million people in Bangladesh. Almost all of the 13 million farm families in the country grow rice.
For fried rice, always cook the rice grains the previous night and keep them in the refrigerator.
Pasta and noodles are usually cooked for 6 to 7 minutes, except for glass noodles. I would suggest following the package instructions for each and every type of noodles or pasta to make it al dente.
