A cooking method in which food (especially rice) is cooked in a large volume of boiling water, then drained. For rice, it produces a different texture than the standard absorption method used in rice cookers.

I ate rice cooked by the boil-and-drain method.
湯炊(ゆだ)きは炊飯器(すいはんき)を使(つか)わずにご飯(はん)を炊(た)く伝統的(でんとうてき)な方法(ほうほう)だ。
The boil-and-drain method is a traditional way to cook rice without a rice cooker.
湯炊(ゆだ)きの場合(ばあい)、お米(こめ)を大量(たいりょう)のお湯(ゆ)で茹(ゆ)でてから水(みず)を切(き)ります。
In the boil-and-drain method, the rice is boiled in a large amount of water, then drained.

Combines 湯(ゆ) (hot water) and 炊(だ)き (cooking, from 炊(た)く). Contrasts with the standard absorption method (吸水炊飯(きゅうすいすいはん)) used by modern rice cookers, where rice absorbs an exact amount of water with no draining.
