Food tip on rice

Rice cooking for a lot of people can be a real hit and miss affair, with a stodgy mess being a common result. There are many types of rice and all have their own different properties and uses. Here are a few tips to help solve that:

  • Use the correct rice for the dish
  • Always thoroughly wash and rinse any rice and repeat until the water runs clear before cooking with it, this washes away the excess starch that causes it to stick together
  • Only just cover with water and bring it to the boil, remove from the heat and let it finish cooking off the heat with a lid on, this is called cooking by the absorption method
  • Use a stock instead of plain water to increase flavour
  • Long grain rice must be used for stir fries; to get that crisp, nuttiness, cook and drain the rice and spread it out on a tray and leave in the refrigerator overnight to dry out
