Rice preparation
The optimal effect of rice preparation depends on correct ratio of rice and water.
During preparation follow all instructions on the package and check if:
The rice is non-processed and typical?
The rice is pre-cooked or stewed?
The pre-cooked rice is commercially available and is called e.g. instant rice.
All other rice data (white or brown, long-grain or round, wild, Basmati, etc.) inform of
quality and taste. It is insignificant for the preparation process.
Depending on taste a pinch of salt may be added.
Rinsing the rice before cooking makes it less sticky in the pot, but removes some
nutrients.
When rice is soaked for 5 - 10 minutes, it will be softer after cooking.
