Cooking rice is far from just adding water and rice into the cooking pot. No, it is far from that. In fact, you need to add a bit of ice.
Yes, ice is the secret ingredient to heavenly rice.
Before you start cooking the rice, add 2 to 3 cubes of ice into the pot. Leave it for 15 minutes before you start cooking. This way, you’ll get rice that is neither to sticky nor too hard, and is just perfect.
This method works for overnight rice too! Add some ice cubes into the bowl before steaming it. The result? Rice that looks and tastes as if it is freshly cooked.
Actually cooking rice is really complicated, and to get the best rice, there are many factors to consider. Here are some of them.
Soaking the rice
You should soak your rice in the water for one hour before cooking, if you have the time. It’ll allow the rice to absorb the water and make the rice fuller, and taste better.
The ratio
The ratio of rice to water is best around 1:1.2. However, this value also varies for different brands of rice and the best way to gauge this is still by experience. Therefore, we urge you to not change the brand of rice you use all the time so that you can make good rice for your loved ones!
Adding flavor
You wouldn’t want to overdo this, or you might as well just make nasi lemak. Add some sesame oil or other spices into the pot to make the rice more fragrant after cooking. You can google to find out what ingenious ways others have been using to make their rice better!
That is all we have to offer for cooking heavenly rice! If you have any other methods that you deem too good not to share, please add it in the comments!
