How to cook rice
This is the method I personally use – there are many others, but this is the one that works for me.
Start with 1 or 2 tbsp oil or butter in your saucepan on medium heat. This is to coat the grains so that they don’t stick. Add the rice and 1/2 to 1 tsp salt per cup of rice – this is crucial to season your rice. You don’t need to add much salt if you are making fried rice and using tamari or soy sauce.
Stir, and add the liquid. Bring to a boil. Right when it comes to a boil, stir, turn down the heat to low, cover, and let cook for the required time. Do not stir rice. Try not to peek. Let it do its thing.
Ratios
For brown, black, or red rice.
1 cup rice :2 cups water or stock ratio
1 cup dried = 3 cups cooked
1 cup dried = approximately 3 portions
Cooking time: about 50 minutes for brown rice and 30 minutes for red or black at low simmer
For white rice
1 cup rice :1.5 cups liquid ratio
1 cup dried = 3 cups cooked.
Cooking time: 12-15 minutes at a low simmer.
What’s your rice story? Do you prefer white or brown? Jasmine or sushi? Does your rice always come out mushy or starchy? I wanna know!
