Hello everyone! Today I would like to share with you a wonderful ratio that makes rice soft and sweet, to ensure that you succeed the first time! I believe that many people have encountered hard or sticky rice, and that may be because the ratio of water to rice is not right. Now, let me uncover the secret!
First of all, we need to prepare the following materials:
- Rice (choose the right amount according to the number of people)
-spring water
- A pot
- A tight-fitting lid
Step 1: Prepare the rice
Pour the rice into a container and rinse it 2-3 times with clean water until the water is clear. This removes the starch from the surface of the rice and makes the rice more fluffy.
Step 2: Master the ratio of water to rice
This is the key to making delicious rice! Generally, the ratio of water to rice is 1:1.5. That is, based on one cup of rice, you need 1.5 cups of water. Of course, this can also be slightly adjusted according to individual taste.
Step 3: Cook the rice
Bring the water in the pot to a boil and pour the rinsed rice into the pot. Once the water is boiling, continue to boil over high heat for 1-2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the rice steam slowly.
Step 4: Simmer the rice
Simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes. This time can be adjusted appropriately according to personal preference and the variety of rice. Do not remove the lid during simmering to avoid steam loss and affect the texture of the rice.
Step 5: Loose rice
When the simmer is over, gently turn the rice with a spatula. This allows the steam inside the rice to be released, further increasing the fluffy texture of the rice. If you prefer the rice to be fluffier, you can simmer for another 5 minutes or so.
Now you can indulge in this fluffy and sweet delicious rice! Whether it's pairing dishes or making sushi, you can take your dishes to the next level!
Summary:
By getting the ratio of water to rice right and simmering it for a reasonable amount of time, you'll be able to easily make fluffy and sweet rice. Remember, a 1:1.5 ratio of water to rice, simmer on the lowest heat for 10-15 minutes, and then light the rice, and you can enjoy the delicious taste of rice.
Hopefully, the above methods will inspire you to take your rice cooking skills to the next level!
