The vast majority of amateur cooks cook rice in plain water.
It would seem that this approach is the most correct. After all, the end result is a standard side dish.
Of course, sometimes rice porridge can be cooked with milk. But not everyone likes this dish.
But experienced cooks note: water and milk drinks are not the only liquids in which you can cook cereals.
What to pour rice with
If a gourmet has set a goal to prepare an ideal side dish with a very bright taste, then the cereal should be cooked in broth. For example, in chicken.
The rice grains will not only absorb the broth, but will also “take away” its taste.
The finished porridge will be so aromatic that the cook will most likely stop cooking rice in water.
How to cook rice in broth correctly
Rice groats should be poured into a saucepan. The product should be filled with broth.
For every one volume of loose component there should be two volumes of liquid component.
The dishes should be covered with a lid. After that, you need to put the pan on the stove and turn on the burner.
As soon as the broth comes to a boil, the heat should be reduced to minimum.
Continue cooking the rice until the liquid is completely absorbed/evaporated.
After cooking is complete, the side dish should sit in a covered pan for at least five minutes.
