Matters needing attention

Many people wash rice three or four times at a time, which is wrong and easy to cause the loss of water-soluble nutrients in rice. In addition, there is no need for running water to wash rice. Just wash 1-2 times by hand to remove the dust on the surface of rice, and finally wash it gently by hand.
2. Pay attention to the amount of water added?
Many people do not pay attention to the amount of water added when cooking, which leads to the cooked rice being either too soft or too hard, so it is very important to measure the amount of water added correctly. If boiled white rice, the ratio of rice to water is 1: 1.2, and the highest ratio of water can reach 1.4. Generally, clear water is 2~4 cm higher than water. If coarse grains such as purple rice, sorghum or millet are added to rice, it is necessary to add more water, because coarse grains are very draught.
3. Don't boil the pot immediately after steaming?
The rice cooker jumped up, indicating that the rice was cooked. But don't open the lid in a hurry, or the rice on the surface of the rice cooker will be very thin, and the bottom of the pot will become a crust, making it difficult to clean the rice cooker. The correct way is: when the rice cooker jumps to the heat preservation, don't unplug it immediately, let it keep the heat preservation state for 5 minutes, and then continue to stew for 5 minutes after unplugging. The rice made in this way tastes better and is not easy to stick to the pot ~ ~
