Filed Under (Food and Drink) by Guest Author on 20-07-2010
Serving a great homemade rice recipe can leave you feeling great. It is quite easy and only requires one to know the basic instructions. Here is a good step by step guide to making a great rice recipe.
Step 1
Wash the rice thoroughly in the cold water, rubbing it between your palms. Rinse several times pouring out the water. Repeat until you notice that the water has changed from white to clear. Thereafter, you can pour it into a drainer. If you do not have one, then you can just drain off the water using your hands. For one cup of rice, add one and a half cups of water to your cooking pot. If you have to use a pan, then a non-sticky one is ideal since you will only have to stir a little to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Meanwhile, add some water to the rice until it covers it fully.
Step 2
After an hour, drain the water from the rice. On your boiling pot, add sufficient water and put it on fire. Wait until it boils. Once it boils, you can add the washed rice. It is advisable that you do not bring the water and the rice to boil at the same time as this could result to uneven boiling of the rice. At this point, lower the heat so as to prevent the water from spilling over.

Step 4
From there, cover your cooking pot with a lid and lower the heat even more. When you have cooked it for about 12 minutes, you can check to see if your rice is ready. This you do by smashing a grain of the rice on a plate. Then you can decide whether to continue cooking the rice or if it is ready. If it is ready, then remove it from fire and let it stay on the pot for a while to allow it to cool, before serving.
