Chinese people have a variety of ways to cook rice, depending on the region and the dish. Here are a few common methods:

1. Basic Steamed Rice: This is the most common method for cooking rice in China. Rinse the rice several times in cold water until the water runs clear. Then add the rice and water to a pot, in a ratio of 1:1.5 (for example, 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water). Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
2. Fried Rice: this is a popular way to use left over rice. Heat oil in a wok or pan, add vegetables, meat and egg, stir-fry them until cooked, then add cooked rice, stir-fry for a few minutes, add soy sauce and other seasonings, and stir-fry until the rice is well mixed with the other ingredients and heated through.
3. Congee: Congee, also known as jook, is a type of rice porridge that is commonly eaten in China, especially for breakfast. To make congee, rinse the rice and add it to a pot with a larger amount of water, typically in a ratio of 1:6 (1 cup of rice to 6 cups of water). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked and the mixture has thickened to a porridge-like consistency. You can add ingredients such as chicken, fish, or pork to make it more flavorful.
4. Clay Pot Rice: This is a traditional method of cooking rice that is still popular in some regions of China. Soak the rice for 30 minutes before adding it to a clay pot with the appropriate amount of water. Then add any ingredients such as meat, vegetables, or seasonings. Cover the pot and place it over low heat to simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed.

These are some of the common ways Chinese people cook rice, but there are many more variations depending on the region and the dish. It’s also worth noting that Chinese people typically use glutinous rice or jasmine rice, which are types of rice that have different cooking methods than other types of rice.
