When steaming rice with a rice steamer, the ratio of water to rice is generally 1: 1.2, which can be measured with your fingers. The specific method is as follows:

1. Soak the rice in cold water for half an hour to make the rice grains fully absorb water and the steamed rice grains are full.

2. Spread the rice evenly, and the rice should be at the same height as the water.

3. If you want the rice to be softer, add more water, and steamed rice with pores is the best.

4. You can put your index finger in rice washing water, and the water should not exceed the first joint of your index finger.

5. If the rice at home is already in old rice, you can add a small amount of refined salt or peanut oil to the pot after the first three processes. Note that peanut oil needs to be cooked and cooled. Adding some to the pot will make the rice fragrant.
