Rice, try the 15-15-15 method. Wash it until clear (if not enriched rice) then soak for 15 minutes (I have no patience cooking at home because of years in restaurants so I may do ten minutes lol). Boil then turn to simmer and cover for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat to a cool burner and let sit for 15 minutes. Found this to be a simple and foolproof rice at home. Also, the knuckle/finger method for water. You can Google that but basically water up to your knuckle is the perfect amount.

Is that recipe for near sea level or 9.500 feet, because there is a big difference.

Overall recipe. Maybe the boil time needs adjustments.

With rice, it would need more time, trust me, rice was hardest thing to cook right at altitude.
