Rice is considered one of the most popular cereal crops.
Rice dishes go well with fish, meat, vegetables and fruits. Rice is used to make pilaf, soup, and is added to salads.
However, when cooking, it happens that the rice hopelessly sticks together and turns out unappetizing.
How to cook delicious rice
Each type of rice has its own proportions and cooking time. So, long rice is boiled in water for about 20 minutes at the rate of 200 g of product per 450 ml of water, for short rice it is enough to take 400 ml of water, for brown rice - 500-560 ml of water.
The water level in the pan should be 2.5 cm above the rice level.
For cooking rice, use cast iron cookware with a thick bottom. Thin-walled pots are impractical, they heat unevenly and the rice at the bottom may burn, while the grain on top will remain raw.
For a beautiful appearance, aroma and spicy taste, spices are added to the pan when cooking rice - turmeric, paprika, nutmeg.
