First, we measure the amount of rice in the container. Next, the first secret-Taomi: Don't Taomi more than three times. If washed more than three times, the nutrition in the rice will be greatly lost, so the aroma of steamed rice will be reduced. Remember not to wash rice more than three times.
The second secret-soaking rice: first soak rice in cold water 1 hour. This will make the rice grains fully absorb water. The steamed rice will be full of grains.
The third secret-rice-water ratio: When steaming rice, the rice-water ratio should be 1: 1.2. There is a particularly simple way to measure the amount of water. Put your index finger into rice washing water, as long as the water exceeds the first rice of your index finger.
The fourth secret-flavoring: If your rice is old rice, it doesn't matter, old rice can also steam out the taste of new rice. It is after the first three processes that we add a small amount of refined salt or peanut oil to the pot. Remember that peanut oil must be cooked and cooled. Just add some to the pot. Now, you can plug in the power and start steaming. Steamed, the granules are crystal clear and full, and the rice is fragrant and delicious.
Steamed rice with vinegar:
Cooked rice should not be stored for too long, especially in summer, which tends to turn sour. When steaming rice, if you put some vinegar in the proportion of 1.5 kg of rice and 2-3 ml of vinegar, it can make the rice easy to store and prevent rancidity. The steamed rice has no sour taste, but the taste is stronger.
Steamed rice with oil:
Old rice steamed rice is not as delicious as new rice, but if we change the method of steamed rice, old rice will be as delicious as new rice.
The method is: soak it in clear water for two hours, remove it and drain it, then add a proper amount of hot water, a tablespoon of lard or vegetable oil to the pot, boil it on high fire and stew it on low fire for half an hour. If you use a pressure cooker, it will be cooked in 8 minutes.
Salted steamed rice:
This method is only used when the leftovers are steamed again. If you can't eat the remaining rice, you need to steam it again. The re-steamed rice always has a taste, not as delicious as the newly steamed rice. If a small amount of salt water is added to the steamed leftovers, the fishy smell of rice can be removed.
Steamed rice with tea:
Steaming rice with tea can make the rice have good color, fragrance and nutrition, and has the benefits of relieving boredom, cleaning the mouth, dissolving food and providing vitamins.
The method is: take 0.5- 1g of tea according to rice, soak it in 500- 1000ml for 5 minutes, then filter out the tea residue, pour the filtered tea into the washed rice, and steam it in the pot as usual.
