Took me 6 months to figure out why my rice always came out mushy

I was rinsing my rice wrong this whole time. Thought a quick shake under the faucet was good enough but nope. Finally timed it with a stopwatch and found out you need to rinse for a full 2 minutes until the water runs clear. That one change turned my sad sticky mess into fluffy rice in like a week. Now I'm wondering if I've been messing up other basic stuff too. Anybody else have a cooking trick they learned embarrassingly late?

Oh man, the rice struggle is so real. It took me way too long to figure out the same thing, felt like such a dumb moment when I finally got it right.

Nah, working for it makes you appreciate the rice more.
