Do you partially pre-cook your rice before making jollof or do you just wash/soak it?

Better to parboil it... The reason for parboiling your rice is simply to avoid a caked rice when cold after cooking. Parboiling your rice also help remove some excess starch.

You don’t think washing the rice thoroughly removes most of the excess starch?
