Fried Corn Meal Mush, or Fried Hominy

Ingredients:
1 cup rice
2 quarts boiling water
1 tablespoon salt

Directions:
French Chef
Pick over rice; add slowly to boiling, salted water, so as not to check boiling of water. Boil
thirty
minutes, or until soft, which may be determined by testing kernels. Old rice absorbs much
more
water than new rice, and takes longer for cooking. Drain in coarse strainer, and pour over one
quart hot water; return to kettle in which it was cooked; cover, place on back of range, and let
stand to dry off, when kernels are distinct. When stirring rice, always use a fork to avoid
breaking kernels. Rice is more satisfactory when soaked over night in cold water to cover.
