However, there is skill in how to make it delicious, neither soft nor hard, and the grains are clear.
The secret of steamed rice:
1. Taomi
First of all, in the process of rice washing, there is no need to wash the rice with running water. Pour the rice into the basin, stir and wash it 1-2 times by hand, then remove the obvious dust, and then gently rub it with your hands.
Because rice is washed too many times, some nutrients in rice will be washed away.
When we wash rice, the turbid water is not rice bran, but the powder adheres to the rice grains during polishing, which is the part we wash away. On the contrary, if the rice is not washed cleanly, causing the powder to stick to the rice, the steamed rice may become sticky.
2, the choice of water when steaming rice
If conditions permit, it is best to choose pure water or mineral water, because steamed rice will taste better.
If coarse grains such as purple rice, sorghum or millet are used, more water should be added appropriately, because these coarse grains are very draught.
3. Water consumption of steamed rice
In fact, the amount of water used for steaming rice has a great relationship with the hardness of rice. If you put too much water, rice will stick together. If there is less water, the rice is either raw or too hard. Generally speaking, only by adding a proper amount of water can the steamed rice be neither soft nor hard, and the particles are clear. Usually, the ratio of rice to water is 1: 1, which means that the amount of water is the same as that of rice.
However, the water absorption rate of different varieties and different producing areas of rice is different and should be adjusted appropriately. Of course, everyone has different tastes, so the taste of rice is different.
4. Steam the rice and add a little white vinegar and cooking oil.
When steaming rice, you can add a few drops of white vinegar, so that the steamed rice will be very bright. Add a few drops of cooking oil, and the rice looks oily and tastes better.
abstract
Generally speaking, how to steam rice depends on your own taste, because some people like soft rice and some people like hard rice, so it is ok to steam rice according to your own taste.
