Steamed rice

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook crumbly steamed rice in a saucepan? Very simple! First, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. It is advisable to take clean drinking water for cooking, without foreign smell and taste. Tap water - only through a filter, otherwise the taste of the finished dish may be spoiled by poor-quality water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Lightly salt the water to taste and boil. I added 1/2 tsp salt.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the water is heating, rinse the rice thoroughly until clear water. You can take any rice, but preferably not of the lowest quality. Cheap rice cooks faster than high-grade cereals. I have long-grain Basmati rice. Before cooking, carefully read the instructions on how much you need to cook a particular variety.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the onion and leave it whole. Choose the size of the bulb according to your taste. You can not add it at all. But with it it turns out more fragrant and tastier.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the washed rice into a saucepan with a thick bottom and smooth it out.

7. Step 6:

   

   Stick a whole onion on top. Spread the pieces of butter around.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour salted boiling water into a saucepan so that the water rises 1-1.5 cm above the rice. I got 460 ml of water. Just corresponds to the classical ratio: for 1 part of rice, two parts of water.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the pan on low heat (I have mode 2 of 9) and cook the rice until the liquid has completely evaporated. I cooked for 10 minutes. In the process, the cereal will absorb water and swell.

10. Step 9:

    

    After the water has evaporated, turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and leave to infuse for 15 minutes. During this time, the remaining water, if any, will be absorbed into the cereal.

11. Step 10:

    

    Then remove the onion. Arrange the rice on plates and serve it to the table with any side dish. Bon appetit!
