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
