For most daily meals, rice is an indispensable dish for many Vietnamese families. To cook rice, first wash the rice, then put it in the pot and pour enough water. Wood-fired rice cookers are thick pots that retain heat to help the rice cook. Then start on the stove (heat large or small depending on the person, preferably medium fire).

Pay attention to the stove or when boiling, the water will overflow. When boiling, use chopsticks to stir the rice cooker. Wait for the rice to dry, then turn off the heat. The heat from the coal will make the rice cooked, wait for about 15 minutes. If the rice shows signs of being raw, pour some white wine over it.
