tips for steaming rice
number one: hot water. Usually, most people steam rice directly with cold water, but if you steam rice with hot water, you will know that the steamed rice tastes softer and more delicious, and the time for steaming rice with hot water will be shortened, and the nutrition will be richer than that steamed with cold water.
second: vinegar. Vinegar is a substance that will volatilize when heated. When vinegar volatilizes, it will also accelerate the hydrolysis of starch in rice, so that the steamed rice is soft and delicious and not easy to spoil. It is especially suitable in summer.
When steaming rice with vinegar, we must pay attention to a good proportion. Just add 1 ml of vinegar to about 1 kg of rice. This proportion of vinegar will not have sour taste, but can make rice fragrant, soft and delicious, with distinct particles. It is not easy to stick to the pot when steaming rice.
third: oil. Putting a spoonful of lard or cooking oil into the steamed rice can achieve this goal. The cooked rice is fragrant and soft, tastes much better than nothing, and the rice is distinct and not easy to paste. The effect is similar to that of vinegar.
friends who don't like oil don't have to worry, because the steamed rice will not look greasy, but will be more delicious.
fourth: steam overnight rice. Many people like to steam more rice at a time, but the rice will smell after being left overnight. At this time, adding a small amount of salt water can solve it. The method is to pour a small amount of salt water into the rice and steam it together. The steamed rice is as delicious as the newly steamed rice.
