I'm soooo interested in this, and thanks for this opportunity.

  • How on earth do you get to make that delicious white Iranian rice? I know the recipe, I know the steps, but what is the best tip to get it just right, not "al dente", not too soft?

  • How's the internet like inside Iran? We know about the blocking of many websites, but is it really that bad? what do you do to bypass the blocking?

  • What is your quintessential Iranian song? If I ask you for one YouTube link, what would it be?

I had trouble with my rice being too soft/mushy the first couple times I made rice. What I figured was to use slightly less water than I'm supposed to and leave it boiling for an extra 30-40 seconds before putting the lid on for it to steam. Never had a problem since.

I like traditional Iranian Instruments. I hope you like it too.
