However, cooking perfect rice is not that easy.
In this article, we will advise you how to cook perfect rice even without a rice cooker..
Thanks to these tips from Japanese chefs from the vazhnoznat portal, your rice will taste just like as in an Asian restaurant..
Cooking rice can sometimes be difficult even for an experienced housewife, because it can easily happen that the rice is overcooked or, on the contrary, undercooked.
The secret of cooking rice properly
The first step to be done is to soak the rice before cooking. .
Pour enough water so that the level of the liquid is a few centimeters above the level of the rice.
Let stand about 20 minutes..
During this time, an excess amount of starch is released from the grains. .
It is precisely this that transforms the rice into a whole mass of mushy consistency during the cooking process.
Then, after twenty minutes, it is necessary to rinse the rice several times..
When the water is completely clear, the rice is ready to be cooked.
By the way, you can gently rinse the rice with boiling water..
The hot water will help get rid of any excess starch.
And it additionally removes possible impurities..
The less starch remains in the rice, the less foam will form during cooking.
When the water in the pot boils, cook the rice for 8 minutes..
The ratio of rice to water is as follows:
pour 2 glasses of clean water on 1 glass of rice..
After 8 minutes, turn off the gas and remove the pot of rice from the stove..
Let stand covered for half an hour..
Then you can put in the pot with the rice a piece of butter..
Stir the rice and cover the pot again..
Let it stand for another fifteen minutes so that the rice has a pleasant buttery aroma.
You can omit the butter and serve the rice straight away as a side dish to your favorite sauce or meat.
Bon appetit!
