When buying rice varieties, you should choose full, crystal clear japonica rice, which tastes better. Especially northeast rice, due to the influence of natural environment such as the climate of the place of origin, the rice cooked by northeast rice is chewy and particularly fragrant. Like the Xiao Qiyi family, they have a special liking for a kind of "long-grain fragrant rice".

When buying rice, you must choose fresh rice. Because old rice has been left for too long, some of its nutrients will slowly run away and taste bad. There may be a lot of Mi Chong in it, who will steal rice into an empty shell. Old rice absorbs moisture from the air, and caking will occur. So when buying, we must distinguish between new rice and old rice.
three
Wash rice before cooking, not too many times. Twice is the most appropriate. The first time, wash away the floating dust on the surface and pick out the pebbles and empty rice bran inside. These impurities will affect the taste. Then water it again. Don't rub hard to avoid the loss of a lot of nutrients in rice.

When Xiaoqi cooks at home, she usually starts to wash rice about an hour before meals, so as to have enough time to soak and wash rice. You don't need to add a lot of water, just leave a little water for the second rice washing. Soaked rice will be softer and more waxy when burned because it absorbs water. Generally, soaking for about half an hour is enough.
five
Prepare to cook. At this time, add the right amount of boiling water. Cooking with boiling water can not only shorten the cooking time of rice, save electricity, but also better preserve the nutrients in rice.
six
Adding more water and less water plays a key role in whether the cooked rice is delicious. Too little, it will feel hard to eat, and there may be a feeling of pinching; Too much rice will become too soft and rotten, just like thick rice porridge. How much water should be put according to the amount of rice put.
