🍚 Basic rice cooking for beginners - always fluffy, always delicious

For many, cooking rice is a challenge. Overgrown, sticky, sticky - sound familiar?
This post will help you to make rice at last always succeed: no rice cooker, just a pot and this method.

🛒 Ingredients (for 2-3 servings):

• 1 mug (approx. 200 ml) of plain white rice (e.g. long grain)

• 2 cups of water

• 1 pinch of salt

• 1 tablespoon oil or butter (optional)

  👩‍🍳 Step by step - How not to mess it up:

  1. Washing through:
     The rice wash in cold water 2-3 times, while the water will be roughly clear. This removes the starch and will not be sticky the rice.

  2. Exact proportions:
     One portion for rice two parts water must. This is the key. If you brew 1 cup, pour 2 cups of water over it.

  3. Boiling:
     Put the rice in a small saucepan with the water, salt and a little oil/butter if you like.
     Bring to the boil, then immediately withdraw small flame.

  4. Covering and cooking:
     Cover with a lid and do not stir while cooking!
     On a low flame cook for exactly 15 minutes, then close the fire under it.

  5. Rest:
     Leave it covered for now 10 minutesbefore you open it up - this way the rice will "swell" nicely and become bubbly.
