How to melt rice

Anybody should know how to cook rice perfectly – without a rice cooker! So today, I'one thousand sharing how I cook rice, 3 different means:

1. Stove in a pot (13 min) –the best results, the style I usually make rice;

2. Oven (35 min) – the most easily off manner, and the easiest way to melt rice in big batches;

3. Microwave (12 min) –the fastest, hands off manner

Which rice to use for this recipe

Use this rice recipe for:

• long grain white rice

• medium grain white rice

• short grain white riceexcept sushi rice (which is a type of brusk grain rice, meet below)

See separate recipes for:

• basmati rice

• jasmine rice

• brown rice

DO NOT apply this recipe for:

• sushi rice – use the directions in this recipe

• wild rice (cook per this recipe), black rice, or other special rices

• risotto rice – use a risotto recipe

• paella rice – use this Paella recipe

• quinoa – follow this recipe

Wondering about the difference between rice types?

The general rule is that the shorter the rice grain, the stickier the rice.Mucilaginous doesn't meany glutinous! Information technology just means the grains stick together more, rather than beingness crumbly, and then they are easier to consume with chopsticks.

The longer the grain, the less sticky information technology is. Basmati is the least sticky rice (Indian nutrient isn't eaten with chopsticks!), short grain is the most sticky. (eg. Sushi rice is a blazon of brusk grain rice, and it has to be sticky in lodge for sushi rolls to stay together. You can't make sushi rolls with basmati rice!)

Rice to water ratio

For ane loving cup of rice, you will need 1.5 cups of water for to cook rice on the stove or in the oven.

The water needs to be increased to 2 cups to cook rice in microwave.

If you lot rinse the rice*,reduce the water by 2 tablespoonsper cup of rice.

* You don't demand to rinse rice to have fluffy rice if yous use the right cooking method and rice to water ratio! More on the to-rinse-or-not-to-rinse debate beneath.

How to cook rice on the stove (my default method)

1. Place 1 loving cup of rice (no rinsing!) and i.5 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high – no chapeau;

2. Turn heat downward to low, cover with lid, and leave for 13 minutes;

3. With lid nevertheless on, remove saucepan from stove and represent 10 minutes; and

4. Fluff with a rice paddle, safety spatula or fork, curiosity at perfectfluffy rice! {See recipe video for a proficient close up!}

This is my default way of cooking rice, and of the 3 methods I'm sharing today, it yields the best result – the closest to using a rice cooker. All the rice cooks evenly, the grains are tender but non mushy, and the surface of the grains are not mushy and glutinous.

There is no demand to rinse rice if you use my rice cooking method!

How to cook rice in the oven

Useful for hands off, large batch rice cooking.

1. Identify rice and boiling water* in a small casserole with a lid (or use a pan and foil);

2. Cover with hat, bake at 200°C/390°F (180°C fan) for 35 minutes;

3. Remove from oven and correspond 10 minutes; and

4. Fluff with fork, marvel at perfectly cooked fluffy oven baked rice. {Meet recipe video for a good close up!}

* Boiling water helps rice cook more evenly in the oven because the water doesn't require fourth dimension to come upwards to temperature in the oven (which can take over 10 minutes).

This is my next preferred method to cook rice. It's not as perfect every bit rice cooked on the stove considering some of the rice on the edges gets a wee scrap crispy. But it is stillvery very proficient and the pocket-sized compromise is worth the convince of thisentirely hands-off method of cooking rice.

Some people think rice should non be viscous at ALL, but that'south not correct! Rice is supposed  to be a bit sticky, otherwise 5 billion Asians would struggle to eat rice with chopsticks!

How to cook rice in the microwave

Useful emergency method! I use this when I'm scrambling for rice props in photos!

1. Place i cup of rice and 2 cups ofhumid h2o in amicrowave proof round^ containerthat's 3 to 4 timestallerthan the water level (the water bubbles up quite a lot);

2. Microwaveuncovered for 12 minutes on high;

3. Remove from microwave,cover and so rest for 10 minutes;

4. Fluff and savor!

* Most microwaves heat things from the outside in. Using boiling water helps rice cook more evenly.

Cooking rice in the microwave is merely as fast as using the stove, only it's more hands off. But microwave rice is non quite every bit good as cooking rice on the stove. The rice doesn't cook quite as evenly, but the difference is marginal and I'k pretty certain only rice snobs can tell the difference!

You might turn your nose upwards at the thought of microwave rice… just it'due south super handy to know how!

When I'm cooking on the job and need rice for stir chips or curries or something else I'thousand shooting, rice gets made in the microwave more than often than not – for sheer convenience. Things go pretty hectic around here on shoot days!

Hither's a look at the rice cooked in the microwave. Hard to capture the texture in photos, but itis fluffy and doesn't accept that unpleasant gluey surface on the grains. You can run into information technology better in the recipe video below!

The biggest fault y'all've been making all your life

The biggest mistake people make when cooking rice is usingalso much waterwith virtually recipes calling for 2 cups of h2o to one loving cup of rice for stovetop cooking. This virtually guarantees overly soft rice with viscid surfaces.

The problem of too much water is and then exacerbated by rinsing the rice, with promises that removing the backlog starch will make your rice fluffy. E'er weighed your rice earlier and later on rinsing? All that actress weight = water.

And then actually, recipes that phone call for ii cups of h2o AND rinsing rice terminate up using near ii one/4 cups of water for 1 cup of rice = overly soft rice with pasty surfaces.

The perfect rice to water ratio is 1:one.5 for the stove. If y'all insist on rinsing the rice, reduce the h2o past 2 tablespoons.

There is no need to rinse rice to make it fluffy!

There's a widely held belief that rinsing rice is the key to to successful rice, that doing this washes away excess starch on the rice grains which makes the rice extra fluffy.

Aye that's truthful, it does wash away excess starch.

But your rice will even so be beautifully fluffy even without rinsing if you use my 1:ane.five rice to water ratio and cooking method for the stove (or other methods above).

The just reason to rinse rice are under the following circumstances:

• to make clean information technology – if you've purchased it at street markets or similar (ie not in packages at grocery stores) and you're concerned nearly how clean it is, washing the rice will remove impurities;

• flavoured rices –at that place are some rice recipes I've shared that telephone call for rinsing in circumstances where other ingredients create a thicker cooking liquid. So to ensure the rice is still fluffy, I rinse the rice and sometimes even par boil information technology beforehand eg. Biryani, Curried Rice with Carrots, Coconut Rice.

If y'all DO rinse rice, you need to reduce water past 2 tablespoons for each cup of rice because the rice has some remaining water clinging to it (weigh your rice earlier and after rinsing – the weight increment is all water!).

How do you launder rice?

Easiest way is to use a bowl, fill with water and swish rice around, then pour water off. Exercise this 4 times or so. Note: The water will never get completely clear.

Troubleshooting!

• Scorched base of operations – when you fluff the rice, you lot discover the base of the pot is burnt.

  • Heat was as well high – some stoves are more powerful than others, and might exist also powerful for the saucepan size you are using. Move to a smaller burner.

  • Pot is too big – don't use a big pot for a small amount of rice. This causes the liquid to evaporate also speedily inside the pot, which volition issue in the rice being scorched.

• H2o not absorbed – don't take the rice off the stove until the liquid is fully absorbed (tilt saucepan to check). 13 minutes is the average time for an average stove, but if yours is weaker, information technology might have 15 to 17 minutes. In addition, don't skipresting the rice for x minutes afterwards cooking. During this stage, any residual water will be absorbed!

• Rice non properly cooked – unevenly cooked rice grains, with some notwithstanding hard

  • Did yous peek while the rice was cooking? That will allow steam to escape which stops the rice from cooking properly!

  • Did y'all rest the rice for ten minutes? This is when the rice finishes cooking.

  • Did you utilize an appropriate size pot? Don't use a giant cauldron to cook ane cup of rice! That will brand the liquid evaporate also fast.

  • Fix information technology! Add together an extra 1/4 cup h2o for every 1 cup rice yous used, so put information technology back on the stove with the hat on for five minutes on low, then rest 10 minutes.

• Rice too difficult for your sense of taste – my recipe makes rice al dente, the Asian mode, like it'south served at your favourite Chinese, Thai, Japanese and other Asian restaurants. It may be a touch firm for some people who grew up on softer rice. Use my base recipe as your starting point, and so add together an actress 2 tbsp water for your next batch and run across if information technology's soft enough for your sense of taste. For each batch later that, add an actress 1 tbsp water until it's the right texture for y'all.

• Overflow messon the stove or microwave – the saucepan should exist about 4 to v times the water level and should have a heavy lid. For microwave rice, ensure the container is at least four times the height of the water level.Oven baked rice doesn't have overflow problems because it cooks more than slowly.

• Cooking rice at high altitude – for stove, add ane infinitesimal extra cook time for every 300m/ane,000ft above ocean level. This is the dominion of thumb for boiling things at high altitude – because the boiling point of water is lower so things take longer to melt.

TIPS

• NO PEEKING, NO STIRRING! Practice non elevator the lid or stir the rice while it's cooking. That's the surefire manner to ruin information technology! Lifting the lid releases the steam = undercooked / unevenly cooked rice. Stirring = activates starch = sticky rice (this is the worst!).

• NEVER skip resting for 10 minutes – this is when the rice finishes cooking in the residue heat and the water on the surface of each grain is fully absorbed, leaving you lot with perfectly fluffy, never gluey rice.

• Don't bring to heavy Eddy – for stovetop rice, don't bring it to a rapid eddy because then it'south so hot, when you lot put the lid on it volition trap in so much heat it volition probably eddy over. Only bring it to a simmer/gentle boil on medium loftier (see video!) so there's big gentle bubbles on the surface and information technology gets a fleck foamy. You may still become a bit of liquid boil over if your lid isn't heavy enough – if this happens, just add i tablespoon actress water side by side time!

USEFUL TO KNOW

• Rice to h2o ratio –one cup of rice to one.v cups of water for rice cooked on the stove. Increment to 2 cups of h2o per 1 loving cup of rice for oven and microwave.

• How long does rice last in the fridge? 4 days in an airtight container. Some say information technology will become to half dozen days, only I adopt to err on the side of circumspection.

• Freezing rice – rice freezes extremely well! It volition keep for 3 to 4 months in the freezer.

• How to reheat rice – the best way is to place rice in a basin, drizzle with two teaspoons water per i cup of cold rice, encompass with cling wrap then microwave on loftier for 1 minute. The water will create a steamy environment and brand the rice moist and fresh again.

• Tin you eat cold rice?Yes you can. Merely it's not very pleasant – information technology'southward hard and dry. Common cold rice is perfect (and necessary!) for Fried Rice! Or use for Chinese Rice Soup (simply add towards the end at the point where the rice would exist cooked in the recipe.)

• How much rice does 1 cup uncooked rice brand? 1 cup uncooked rice = 3 cups (packed) cooked rice. It is enough for iii normal servings, or 4 smaller servings.

• Don't have to use measuring cups– you can useanything to measure the rice and water every bit long as you use the same ratio. For example, ane level mug of rice and i 1/2 mugs of water. Or use a bowl or can or jug – anything!

• Calories in rice –1 loving cup cooked white rice has 206 calories.

What to serve with rice

Ah, the fun role!! Here's just a few suggestions:

• Stir fries – stir fries weremade to soak rice with the tasty sauces!

• Curries – curry sauces and rice are all-time mates, right??

• Make Chinese fried rice! Or Nasi Goreng (Indo Fried Rice) or Thai Fried Rice. Or Kimchi Fried Rice!

• With your favourite Chilli Con Carne (try this Shredded Beef version!)

• Serve with other saucy things like Beefiness Stroganoff, Honey Mustard Chicken

• Make a rice salad

• Make Bibimbap – Korean Rice Bowl!

To be honest, I call up that rice goes well with anything that's saucey – Asian or non Asian. Considering rice is a neutral flavour, it works well with anything!

• sushi rice – utilise the directions in this recipe
• wild rice (cook per this recipe), black rice, or other special rices
• risotto rice – use a risotto recipe
• paella rice – use this Paella recipe
• quinoa – follow this recipe

2. More rice for oven – rice cooked in the oven is prone to crispy edges if you lot cook a small quantity. The minimum I recommend cooking in the oven is two cups.

3. Humid water for oven and microwave – allows rice to cook more evenly (water takes longer to come up to temperature in oven, and in microwave, they more often than not cook from exterior in which leads to uneven cooking of rice).

4. Oven baking vessel – medium size 24cm/10″ ceramic or cast atomic number 26 pot with lid is ideal. Otherwise, utilize a 20cm/8″ pan and foil. If you lot scale up, use a larger pan.

v. Microwave container – you lot need a tall microwave proof container, preferably round (cooks more evenly), that's three to 4 times the meridian of the water level with the rice in (water bubbles up).

May need to increment melt time if your microwave is not as strong.

half-dozen. QUANTITY of cooked rice: 1 cup of uncooked rice = 3 cups (packed) of cooked rice.

7. STORING –fridge for iv days in an airtight container, freezer for 3 months. Once refrigerated, rice becomes dry, making it perfect for using in fried rice.

To reheat for serving (eg for stir fries or curries), sprinkle with ii tsp water per i cup cooked rice, encompass with lid or cling wrap and microwave – water volition make moist again.

viii. Cooking rice at Loftier Altitude:Add ane minute stove melt fourth dimension for every 300m/1,000ft to a higher place sea level (because boiling indicate of water is lower = longer cook fourth dimension). Depending on how heavy weight your pot is, you may find you lot need to add together 1 – ii tbsp actress h2o (to compensate for loss of liquid via steam due to longer cook time), merely tweak that in subsequent batches.
