Rice is the simplest garnish you can think of! But it turns out, there are a lot of recipes for preparing crumbly rice for garnish. After all, there is no secret that not every landlady does not get this grain as she would like. For those who want to learn how to properly cook loose rice for a garnish, we will disclose a few secrets.
- The dishes for cooking should be wide, so each rice will get the same amount of moisture. It is desirable that it was a dish with a thick bottom, and not the usual enamel saucepan.
- Before cooking, rice must be thoroughly rinsed. Thus, the starch layer that prevents the rice from being crumbly is washed off.
- With starchy plaque, you can fight and by calcining in oil, so the starch is simply roasted, and the rice gets a beautiful golden hue.
- Never open the lid and do not mix after the water has boiled. With mixing, the grains are damaged and they release the same starch from which we have already got rid of.
- Always observe the proportion: rice - 1 part, liquid - 2 parts
- Do not forget that rice will increase 3 times in volume and choose a container of the appropriate size.
