4. The golden three-step method recommended by experts
1.There’s something special about washing rice: Just rinse with running water 2-3 times. Excessive scrubbing will cause loss of nutrients. The popularity of the recently popular "mineral water rice washing method" has increased by 35%, but experiments have proven that it has a limited impact on the taste.
2.Water control is key: Drain and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the rice grains to absorb water evenly. Some bloggers recommend using a filter instead of hand fishing to reduce the difference in moisture residue.
3.The heat should be precise: After the rice cooker trips, open the lid immediately and it will regenerate. Let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the remaining heat to penetrate the rice core. Cooking over an open fire requires a three-stage operation: "boil on high heat → turn to low heat → turn off heat and simmer".
