If you can make a delicious side dish using rice, you will always have a great option for a perfect addition to the main dish.
Not every housewife can boast that her rice looks appetizing and aesthetically pleasing.
For example, instead of a quality side dish, you may get not the most appetizing porridge. Therefore, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of cooking, chef Yulia Arkhipova, shared the main secrets of an excellent side dish.
What do they consist of?
Choose rice according to the type of dish
The varieties of rice for porridge, pilaf, side dishes, risotto, sushi and other dishes will differ. Therefore, you cannot make a base for sushi from rice for porridge.
Therefore, it is always worth taking this important factor into account.
Rice needs to be processed properly
Regardless of what type of dish you are preparing, rice requires special treatment. It will need to be kept in water for about a quarter of an hour.
After that, you should rinse it again and start cooking.
Stirring
It is important to remember that rice "does not like" extra attention. It can be stirred once during boiling, but after that you should not "touch" the grain.
In this case, the rice will turn out appetizing and delicious.
