Why we don't know how to cook buckwheat: 3 mistakes that will prevent porridge from being crumbly and tasty
It is not always possible to cook buckwheat so that it turns out crumbly.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication Belnovosti, a chef and fourth-class baker, talks about the main mistakes in preparing this dish.
How to cook crumbly and tasty buckwheat
The first common mistake is not rinsing the cereal before cooking.
You need to rinse it very thoroughly, several times, and never with hot water.
But you need to pour hot water over the buckwheat, not cold (if the goal is to get crumbly buckwheat).
The best option is to pour the cereal into boiling salted water.
Buckwheat will also be more crumbly if you fry it a little before cooking.
But here too, many people make a mistake by frying on high heat and for a long time.
Fry over medium heat for three to four minutes without a lid, stirring constantly.
