Of course, there are many lovers of rice porridge.

But most gourmets prefer a crumbly and snow-white side dish.

It is quite easy to achieve the perfect color and “rice to rice” state in a dish.

It is enough to follow two simple recommendations before and during cooking rice.

Washing rice

Before cooking, the cereal must be washed. Almost everyone knows this.

But not every amateur cook knows that the procedure needs to be carried out at least five times.

Moreover, it is necessary to use cold water. It is necessary to ensure that the next portion of liquid does not become cloudy.

Thoroughly washing the rice ensures that the product is freed not only from debris, but also from excess starch, which causes the grain to stick together.

Adding vinegar

When the rice grains are in boiling water, you need to pour a little table vinegar into the pan.

Half a teaspoon of this sour liquid will be enough for the entire container. Thanks to this addition, the rice will have a "whitening" effect. The side dish will acquire an appetizing appearance.
