Rice will be tasty and crumbly if you pre-rinse it under cold water. This procedure will help remove excess starch, which is responsible for gluten.

It is advisable to repeat the manipulation several times.

It is also important to choose the right cookware. It is best to choose a saucepan with a thick bottom so that the temperature is distributed evenly.

In addition, it is important to observe proportions. For two glasses of water, you should take only one glass of rice.

It is better to pour the cereal into already boiling and salted water.

After a minute, the grains need to be stirred, and then the container can be covered with a lid. It is advisable to reduce the heat. The rice should be cooked for about 20 minutes.

It is better not to lift the lid during this time so that the rice cooks faster. You do not need to stir the side dish, otherwise the grains will break and release excess starch, and this will eventually lead to the appearance of lumps.
