Steaming out soft and fragrant rice is not a problem

summary

Steamed rice, presumably many people have steamed, many people will think that this is just the work of adding some water, but often cooked rice is not too much water or less water, or not fragrant enough. How to steam rice? In fact, steaming soft and fragrant rice is not a problem. Let's take a look at the following.

Steaming out soft and fragrant rice is not a problem

Number one: rice panning many times. Many people wash rice four or five times, even rub and wash, eager to give the rice layer skin. This method is very undesirable and easy to cause the loss of water-soluble nutrients. In the process of rice washing, there is no need to wash it with running water. Stir it in the basin by hand for 1-2 times to remove obvious dust, and then rub it gently by hand. In addition, the non panning rice can remove the sand and dust during processing, and can be directly cooked.

Second: do not pay attention to water. Many people do not pay attention to the amount of water when steaming rice, resulting in the rice is either too soft or too hard, in order to avoid this situation, it is important to calculate the amount of water correctly. If steamed white rice, rice and water ratio is 1: 1.2 ~ 1.4, generally water 2 ~ 4cm higher than rice is more appropriate. If it's rice with purple rice, sorghum or millet and other coarse grains, you should add more water, because coarse grains are "draughty".

Third: take off the pot immediately after steaming. Generally speaking, when the rice cooker "trips", it means that the rice is cooked. But if you open the lid to hold the rice at this time, you will find that the rice on the surface is very thin, while the bottom of the pot is tightly adhered to a layer of crispy rice. It's not only hard to hold the pot, but also hard to clean. The correct way is, when the heating switch jumps to the insulation switch, do not pull out the plug immediately, let it stay in the insulation state for 5 minutes, after pulling out the plug, let the rice continue to simmer for 5 minutes, so that the steamed rice tastes better, and it is not easy to stick to the pot.

Finally, let's teach you a little trick to make rice more delicious. Before you cover the pot, pour some vegetable oil (olive oil or soybean oil) into the rice and drop some vinegar. Oil can make cooked rice oil transparent, clear particles; vinegar can not only protect vitamins, but also make steamed rice soft and fragrant.
