Rice is one of the staples of our Chinese people, especially in the southern region, eat rice every day. In our Sichuan people eat a lot of rice, easy to be called "rice bucket", the name of the bucket is not good, a little 2 meaning, stupid eat stupid flavor. Sichuan people almost every day will cook rice, morning, noon and night three even people will cook rice to eat, no other reason, mainly because rice to eat up the flavor, eat full not easy to hunger, that is, we Sichuan people say "by full". How to cook rice? Today we will talk about several ways to cook rice!

Rice cooker cooking rice - simple and fast, easy to operate, shortcomings: easy to cook too soft, sugar is relatively high.

Cooking rice is very simple, especially now that living conditions are better, many people will use the rice cooker to cook directly, simple and fast, easy to operate. Sichuan people almost all know with rice cooker cooking rice, water to more than rice index finger a section or so, cook out of the rice is not easy to soft and sticky, not easy to hard, but just right. Of course, this is generally when there are only a few people in the family. If there are more people in the family, cook more rice, the amount of water will be increased moderately. But the overall will also control to the water over the rice index finger within 2 sections of water. Cooking rice with a rice cooker is relatively simple, but the amount of water needs to be based on the quality of the rice cooker, the variety of rice to be considered comprehensively, in order to cook rice soft and hard moderate, cooked rice will be fragrant and sticky.

Steam rice - simple and convenient, disadvantages: the amount of steam can not be too much, too much easy to the upper layer of soft, the bottom layer of hard. High sugar content.

Before the rice cooker began to spread, do rice many people will use the way of steaming. Especially people born before 90 years, many people study, lunch box with rice inside, put some sweet potatoes, go to a special place to steam rice steamed to eat, I believe that now more than 35 years old almost all have had this experience it! The principle of rice cooker is also simplified from this way inside. Their basic principles are the same, the difference is that steaming rice is the use of frying pan or steaming pot to steam rice, simply put: put the rice into a pot, scrub clean, plus the right amount of water, into the steamer inside the steamer. Of course, the requirements for the amount of water and rice cooker requirements are similar, usually only a few people at home, add more water than rice 1 section of the index finger can be. This way of steaming rice, it is easier to control than the rice cooker, because you can always uncover over the observation of steamed rice cooked or not, need to add water?

leaching rice - rice aroma, grains, low sugar. Disadvantage: High operation.

Draining rice is a more distant way of cooking rice. The main method of cooking rice in our family now is leaching rice, first leaching and then steaming. This way of cooking rice is relatively more operational, but it is not complicated. First leaching and then steaming way, rice sugar will be relatively less, the flavor will be more fragrant, but the sweetness is relatively low. It is recommended that people with three highs eat more leached rice. In our South, people over 35 years of age should know, when I was a child, there were guests in the house, the number of people is relatively large, the adults in the family will use this kind of leaching rice. This way to do out of the rice is not easy to spoil, save a longer time. And this kind of rice leaching out of the rice grains. There are two ways of draining rice: one is to drain it first and then steam it, and the other is to drain it first and then simmer it.

The first leaching and then steamed: pot to put the right amount of water, take some rice washed into the pot, with a spoon to stir. When the hard center of the rice is left to the last trace or the hard center has just disappeared, use a slotted spoon to drain the half-cooked rice, and the rice soup can be collected and drunk. Pour the half-cooked rice into a pot with slits or small holes, and use chopsticks to poor some holes. Steam pot with appropriate amount of water to boil, add half-cooked rice, steam for 10 minutes.

Drain and then simmer: Put a proper amount of water in the pot, take some rice and wash it into the pot, and stir it with a spoon. When the hard center of the rice is left with the last trace or the hard center just disappears, use a slotted spoon to drain the half-cooked rice, and the rice soup can be collected and drunk. Put the half-cooked rice into a pot, add some water, cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer, when there is no "water rattling" in the pot, it is done. This way you can get a very crispy layer of rice pudding.

Concluding Remarks

Nowadays, young people want to be convenient, many people will use the rice cooker to cook directly, add a small amount of sesame sesame oil and mix it well, and cook it out will be very fragrant. Personally, I prefer to cook leached rice to eat, sometimes steamed, sometimes stewed, the taste is different, the rice grains are clear, fragrant and glutinous. The elderly in the family are also more suitable. The rice cooked in this way, even if there are more left, it is very convenient to save, and the leftover rice is very suitable for fried food.
