but i don't think it's necessary to heat the asin to maximize the improvement in taste.

salted boiled rice tastes marginally better than plain boiled rice, which usually has very little taste.

personally, however, i prefer patis.
yung patis panregalo sana, except that i can't find any nowadays.

sinaing + bagong also works.

there's lotsa google articles explaining how salt works to improve taste of foods.
It's not the taste but for the rice to be cooked properly. I remember seeing it once, the rice was "cooked outside but not inside". Again, how do you call that in English? Raw rice?

Since they don't want to start another fire, which is impractical by the way, one of them just put salt on the cover and waited for about 5 minutes. And there was it!

I am assuming that the heat remaining on the pot cooked it but I also remember when I tried cooking rice without using a rice cooker, I couldn't get it right. I left it that way hoping that the remaining heat will do the job but it didn't.

Perhaps I just don't know how to cook.
