Notes
Useful Tips:
- Stirring makes your rice mushy. Stirring will break or damage the rice grain, allowing more starch to be released and causing your rice to become mushy.
- Let your rice rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking and BEFORE you remove the lid to ensure all the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
- Always use a tight-fitting lid. It’s important to not lose the steam you build up during the simmer time to ensure all the rice is cooked evenly and to ensure you don’t alter the cooking time.
- Use broth of some type or another type of liquid instead of water or a mixture of both. If you want to change up the flavor even more when cooking your rice, use a chicken broth or a vegetable broth -- maybe even some orange juice. Experiment and search for different recipes for a different taste.
- Freeze your unused rice. If you make a lot and it just will not get eaten in time, put it in plastic bags, twice. Lay it flat and freeze it for up to a month. Then, when you are ready, you only have to remove it from the freezer and pop it in your microwave, maybe add a little water to help keep it moist.
