Probably all housewives know about the importance of the correct ratio of water and cereal when preparing rice porridge.

Maintaining balance is a guarantee that the dish will acquire the ideal consistency and bright taste.

Too much liquid will result in overly watery rice.

And a lack of water can result in a large amount of raw rice grains.

What is the ideal ratio of water to grain? According to one version, there should be 1.5 volumes of liquid for every volume of rice.

The specialist recommends paying attention to the so-called “bone method”.

The essence of the "bone method"

After pouring the washed rice into the pan, place your index finger on the layer of cereal and start pouring water.

The liquid should reach the first bone of the finger.

Immediately after this, you need to stop pouring water.

Done! You have the perfect ratio of grains to liquid. You can start cooking.

The result will be perfect porridge - crumbly and very tasty.
