How to make rice taste good

 • Wash the rice lightly with purified water about 9 times, and use the water from the ninth wash to remove the fishy smell or make stew. If you wash it too much, the nutrients may be lost.

 

 • Soak the washed rice in cold water for about 30 minutes to make it moist and shiny.

 

 • Mixing a handful of glutinous rice adds stickiness to the rice and helps digestion.

 

 • When cooking rice, the appropriate ratio of water to rice is 1:1. There is also a method of adding water to the height of the back of your hand.

 

 • Adding a sheet of kelp or a little sake will help remove the savory flavor and fishy smell.

 

 • When the rice is cooked, do not mix it right away. Let it sit for about 5 minutes and then stir it to make it fluffy so that it does not stick.

 

 • If you remove the air from leftover rice, seal it, and freeze it, you can keep the texture similar to freshly cooked rice.

 

 • When washing rice, pour water first and then put the rice in to wash. This will allow the impurities to float to the top and wash it more thoroughly.

 

Using these methods, you can make glossy, chewy, and delicious rice.
