Nice, but there is one thing: Do you wash your pasta? Then why do you wash your rice? American rice is packaged clean, and it's going to be boiled anyway. I can read the word "Enriched" on your big Goya bag. That means that after brown rice was milled into white rice, it was then sprayed with thiamine, folic acid, and niacin to replace nutrients that were milled away with the bran and germ of the grain. Virtually all white rice is enriched...until you wash the enrichment away! Finally, the cloudiness in the water is free rice starch from the milling process. If left in, it caramelizes during cooking, which adds excellent flavor and smell to your cooked rice. Try it and see if it's not better.
