I am a northerner. I grew up eating pasta. When I was young, I ate less rice. I only ate rice once a month or several months. Maybe it is because of the scarcity of food. I feel that rice is a special delicious staple food. I eat more rice each time than usual. Now I have grown up and eaten more food. I gradually found that the steamed bread in my hometown is the most delicious. The feeling of eating rice in my mouth is different from when I was a child. Although I ate rice as a child, I never cooked steamed rice. Later, when I needed to make my own living after graduation from college, I made many jokes when I cooked steamed rice for the first time. Now let's tell you the detailed process of steaming rice for the readers!
Operation method
Prepare raw materials: rice, washed rice cooker, oil, salt, and wash your hands.
Take out the pot of the electric rice cooker, pour rice into the pot, add proper amount of water (the water should be less than 2 fingers high above the upper layer of rice), and wash the rice in the pot by hand. It is OK to wash the rice twice. The rice must not be washed more than three times. If it is washed more than three times, the nutrition in the rice will be greatly lost, so that the flavor of the steamed rice will also be reduced.
Soak the rice in cold water for half an hour, so that it can fully absorb water. The steamed rice will be plump. If you can catch up, you can steam directly without soaking. The ratio of rice to water when soaking rice: the ratio of rice to water should be 1:1.2. There is a particularly simple method to measure the amount of water. Put the forefinger into the rice water as long as the water exceeds the first joint of the rice with forefinger.
If your rice is already old, it doesn't matter. Old rice can also be steamed to taste new rice. After the first three processes, we add a small amount of refined salt or peanut oil in the pot. Remember that peanut oil must be cooked and cooled in the air. Just add a little in the pot.
After soaking, wipe the outside of the pot, including the bottom and side of the pot, with a dry rag, and then put it into the rice cooker. You can plug in the electricity and start steaming. It will be steamed for about 15 minutes. The steaming time is positively related to the amount of rice. After steaming, the button of the rice cooker will jump from the steaming key to the heat preservation state.
When it jumps to the heat preservation state, don't rush to open the lid of the pot, let it continue to stew for 3-5 minutes, then disconnect the power supply, open the lid of the pot to fill the rice, steam it, the grains are crystal clear and full, and the rice fragrance overflows. Coupled with delicious food, a sumptuous meal will be ready.
