Ok so everytime I make rice or spanish rice with tomato sauce it
always ends with the rice being like paste. I put 2 cups in water so
it can soak to get the startch off but whatever I do, it always comes
out like clumpy and pastey. I notice moreso when I put tomato sauce in
it.

I put the rice in the pan and pour water in it (obviously) and it
seems fine, but right when I put the tomato sauce in, thats where the
problem begins. Any advice?

You need to count the tomato sauce as part of the liquid... with 8
ounces of sauce omit roughly 8 ounces of water. If you add vegetables
those count as water too.... if say you add a diced onion, place the
diced onion into a two cup measure and add water to the line. Of
course with experience you'll not need to measure, just accomodate...
pretend you're a vagina! hehe
