Complete a Residency. After graduating from medical school, doctorate candidates need to complete a paid residency, typically at a hospital. Depending on specialization, residencies can last anywhere from three to eight years. Some specializations require an additional fellowship, which can last up to three years.
Cooking Time. One cup of regular long, medium, or short grain rice typically takes 15 minutes to cook in a rice cooker, parboiled rice tends to take 20 minutes for 1 cup, and 1 cup of whole grain rice can take between 40 and 45 minutes.
Add water, sake, soy sauce and sea salt and let sit for 10 minutes before cooking, to ensure tender grains. Then place sliced bamboo shoots and dried kelp on top. Switch rice cooker on, or cover pot, place over high heat, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid begins to bubble.
