Rice porridge, of course, has a number of its own advantages and benefits, but it is difficult to imagine this dish as a worthy side dish.
It is worth noting that professional chefs always make elastic and tasty cereals.
How to cook rice properly so it holds its shape
As it turns out, there is a very clever way to prepare a side dish that allows you to ensure a decent result with minimal effort.
All you need to do is change the method of cooking rice a little.
The preparatory stage will be the same: the cereal must either be soaked in water for 20 minutes or thoroughly washed. Then, in a convenient deep container, heat a couple of spoons of olive oil and add the rice itself.
Next, it is recommended to fry on low heat. As soon as the color changes, you can move on to the next stage. This usually takes no more than seven minutes.
Only after this do we add the required amount of liquid: one part rice to two parts water and cook until fully cooked.
After this, you can season the side dish to make the taste of the dish brighter. Such rice always turns out crumbly.
