Thank the Gods I remembered in time! The kitchen looked like a steam room, the top of the stove was liberally inundated with rice-starch water but... the rice was done perfectly and nothing had burned!

And the rice salad (with pineapple, thinly sliced turkey breast, a dressing of yogurt with curry paste and chopped, fresh Vietnamese coriander leaves) was absolutely perfect! :)
