How to cook with a rice cooker?

The cooking method of the rice cooker is as follows:

Preparation materials: 500g of rice and appropriate amount of water.

1, choose the right rice: you must buy "new rice" before cooking. When buying white rice, carefully check the milling date, choose new rice instead of old rice, and take the amount you can eat per week as the benchmark to avoid eating inferior rice.

2. Rice washing: Try to keep your movements soft and fast when washing rice. Don't use too much force, just remove impurities and odors attached to rice grains.

3. Cook in the rice cooker: After soaking the white rice, you can put it in the rice cooker for heating.

4. risotto: After the rice is cooked in an electric cooker, the taste may be light and hard, because the water has not completely transferred into the rice grains. Therefore, it is suggested to put it in a rice cooker for about 10~ 15 minutes, and use the residual temperature in the pot to make the residual water between the rice grains reach a balanced state, which will also make the taste better and avoid the situation that the rice is not ripe.

5. Loose the rice: Because the rice cooked in different parts tastes different, especially the rice near the center of the pot is the best, while the rice at the bottom of the pot is the worst. Therefore, the whole pot of white rice should be fully stirred and beaten loose before eating, so that the rice in all parts can be evenly distributed, and excess water vapor can be dispersed during the stirring process to enhance the aroma and taste of the rice.
