Cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers and meatballs are tasty and filling dishes that have many fans.
But, as Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti, notes, not everyone knows how to properly prepare the filling for these dishes.
One of the important ingredients of the filling is rice. In this article, we will tell you in what form you need to add rice so that your lunch or dinner will be perfect.
Rice for the filling must be prepared in a special way.
First, you need to pour boiling water over the cereal, and then leave it for 5 minutes to infuse.
This will allow the rice to absorb enough water and cook to about 30%.
By the way, if you are making cabbage rolls, you can use the water in which the cabbage was boiled for this purpose.
After this preparation, the rice – soft but not overcooked – will be ideal for stuffing cabbage rolls and peppers, as well as making meatballs.
Earlier we shared a recipe for a sandwich that even a capricious toddler will eat.
