I usually rinse the rice to the amount of cups I am making. i.e. 1 cup rinse 1 time, 2 cups rinse 2 times and so on. I don't "scrub" the rice at all, I read somewhere that it doesn't help to make "shiny" rice. very good tips!

I can distinguish basmati from Japanese or Korean rice by the length of grain and stickiness, so basmati tastes a little lighter. Other than that I can't really tell. And I will definitely begin to throw away the floating grains. I don't want to eat bugs more than anyone else (aboriginals aside...)

Some rice this happens quickly, with others it takes a few hours.

You don't scrub hard, but you give it a nice swirl with the palm of your hands in a pushing downward motion, using the lower part of your palm. Actually, I have observed many Korean moms doin g it this way! Have you ever seen this "rice washing" technique before? My mom always stresses the importance of rinsing it dry after each wet rinsing.

Usually I only do it twice. Now I should change my way of washing the rise. I only swirl it around and round and round. 3-5 times…0.o I never know we must rinse the rice so many times.
