There are two ways to cook steamed rice. The first uses a pan. The second uses a rice cooker.
♣ cooked in a pan
step 1:
Wash the rice. Place the washed rice in the pan. Add the 2 1/2 cups water. Soak for 30∼60 minutes.
step 2:
Cover the pan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
step 3:
Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes until the surface water disappears. Then cook at extremely low heat for another 12 minutes.
step 4:
Remove from heat and let it set for 10 minutes before serving.
comment:
If you let steamed rice set for 10 minutes after cooking, the moisture will evaporate and the rice will become fluffier.
♣ cooked in a rice cooker
step 1:
Wash the rice. Add the water.
step 2:
Put the pan in the body of the machine. Switch on the rice cooker.
step 3:
When finished, stir immediately with a rice spoon.
