Cooking rice thought ‘the easiest in the world’, but only with this simple step, the rice cooker is not only less delicious, but also loses nutrients.

Cooking rice is simple, but many women are manipulating incorrectly, causing the rice to lose its quality and taste.
On the culinary forum, Ms. Nguyen Hoa Quynh introduced to women how to cook a delicious rice cooker.

According to Quynh, this seems a bit “bullshit” because cooking rice is becoming more and more simple when you only need to spend money to buy a genuine rice cooker. But in fact, genuine rice cooker is not the deciding factor at all. Quynh believes that many of you do not know how to properly cook a delicious rice cooker. Quynh used to think it was simple, but since she started cooking rice in a noodle shop in Japan, she understood clearly why the restaurant always finds it better than at home. Below are the steps Ms. Quynh guided to cook a delicious Japanese-style rice cooker. Although she has an electric pot, Quynh still cooks rice with a cast iron or earth pot Step 1. Choosing delicious rice is a necessary condition to have delicious rice. For Japanese rice, the usual hatch rate of rice is 1 cup of rice to be 2 cups of rice filled. So based on this ratio, we can measure the appropriate amount of rice to cook rice each day just enough with the meal of family members. Step 2. Next, rinse the rice. There are types of rice that do not need to be washed in Japan, but with the types of rice that have to be washed, how do we wash the rice to make the rice sticky? We often have a habit of rinsing the rice thoroughly until the water is clear, but this will accidentally lose all the nutrients in the rice. The outer crust of the milled rice contains vitamins B1, B3 and B6 along with fiber and minerals to help reduce harmful cholesterol in the blood. However, it should not be disturbed because in many types of industrial rice, for long-term preservation, producers add talcum powder to help avoid termites and absorb moisture. Not all types contain this powder, if the packaging does not use preservatives, we can be assured that there is not much need to rinse. – Put the rice in the basket / rack, rinse the water gently to wet the rice. – Then pour water into a pot, dip the basket of rice in, use your hand to turn the rice round for about 10 times gently. Lift the basket up, pat it dry. Delicious sticky rice cooked in the way of Mrs. Quynh Step 3. After draining, use a clean towel soaked in water to squeeze out the water, cover the rice surface for 30 minutes. Or put the rice in a bowl of warm water soaked for 15 minutes. Step 4. Next, choose the proportion of water. The “classic” experience of the Vietnamese is to add water a lot. However, it resulted in flattering results. So what percentage of water will give delicious rice? For new rice in 3 months from the date of package printing, the ratio of water to rice is 1: 1. With old rice, the ratio of water to rice is 1.5: 1. Step 5. Cook rice in 70 degree old hot water and add a few drops of olive oil or sesame oil will help retain the amount of vitamin B and fiber in the rice, and the rice will shine beautifully. Step 6. When the rice is cooked, use a spoon to stir the rice evenly, cover with a lid and keep for another 15 minutes. Step 7. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the rice when cooking will help the rice last longer on summer days. (The ratio of salt to rice is 10 bowls of rice for 1 teaspoon of salt equal to the amount of salt. Step 8. Modern society, everyone likes to cook rice cookers quickly, but no matter how modern the rice cooker is, the rice cooked in a clay pot / cast iron pot on a gas stove or steamed in a cage is still more supple. By keeping the rice in a damp towel or soaking the rice in warm water before 15 minutes when cooking rice will shorten the cooking time, and at the same time, the rice seeds with enough water will make the rice softer and more delicious.

One of the other cooking secrets that I learn from a Japanese restaurant is to make use of water to wash rice in to process food. So, do not pour the water to wash the rice, but pour it into a jar, store in the refrigerator for 3 days to make use of: – Eliminate meat odor when boiling meat. – Eliminate fishy smell when storing fish or meat warehouse. – Create natural sweetness instead of industrial spices or broth. – Create beautiful colors for stewed dishes.
