Rice is a tasty and popular side dish that goes well with a variety of salads, vegetables, or fish and meat products.

But not everyone can cook rice. After all, if you make a couple of simple mistakes, then the crumbly and tasty side dish will most likely turn into a stuck mass with lumps.

How to cook rice properly

First, the grains need to be washed thoroughly. It is better to do this several times in a row.

After this, the cereal needs to be fried in a preheated frying pan with oil. The rice needs to be constantly stirred so that it does not burn.

This procedure will take only a couple of minutes. As a result, the grains will be dry and transparent. You can also add spices at this time for aroma and bright taste.

Then you can start cooking. You just need to pour water over the rice in the pan and continue cooking.

But here it is important to maintain the proportions of water and cereal: for 1 glass of rice you should take 2 glasses of liquid.

Cook the side dish under a closed lid for no longer than 20 minutes.
