This recipe will give you every detail you need in order to perfect your rice cooking skills, including how much salt to add to rice and why it’s necessary.
For 15 to 30 minutes, soak the rice in water that is at room temperature. The rice will be wonderfully blossomed as a result of this procedure, and the extra starch will be released, allowing the rice to absorb salt more quickly.
After soaking and before cooking, we advise that you rinse the rice at least two or three times.
2 cups of water should be added to a small pot and brought to a roaring boil. Mix the water and salt together until the salt is completely dissolved.
Add the rice, cover, and simmer uncovered on medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the water has nearly completely evaporated.
Reduce the heat, then stir some of the rice about in the pot to see if there is any remaining water at the bottom. Just a little liquid should be present at the bottom.
Cook the rice for two to three minutes over very low heat with the lid on the pot. This stage is crucial because it uses steam to complete the cooking of the rice.
After the rice has been steam-cooked, turn off the heat, remove the lid, and allow the rice sit for five minutes.
Rice with a wonderful aroma and the right amount of salt should be served hot.
