Step 1:
How to cook crumbly rice in a steamer? Prepare the necessary products. In order for your rice to turn out crumbly, it is better to use a long-grain variety. Sort it well to get rid of the dark grains.
Step 2:
After that, rinse the rice with cold water, removing dust and dirt.
Step 3:
Next, put the rice in a deep container and fill it with clean cold water. Leave the rice in the water for 1 hour. During this time, it will absorb moisture and swell a little, due to which it will be easier for it to soak in steam during cooking.
Step 4:
After an hour, drain the remaining water, and transfer the rice to a special steamer bowl.
Step 5:
Pour water into the steamer (the volume of water depends on the model of your steamer and the volume of the water tank). Also pour water (200 ml) into the container with rice. Place the rice bowl in the steamer. If the steamer is multi-tiered, then place the rice tray at the very bottom. Close the steamer lid. Set the timer for 30 minutes.
Step 6:
After half an hour, when the steamer gives a signal, open the lid, stir the rice with a spoon, separating the rice grains. Then close the steamer again and set the timer for another 10 minutes. After this time, the rice will be ready.
Step 7:
Put the finished rice on plates in portions, serving with fish, meat, chicken and favorite vegetables or salad. Enjoy your meal!

If there is no steamer in the house, then such rice can be cooked using a saucepan and a colander. It is only important to choose it correctly, that is, so that it is conveniently and firmly fixed on the pan. Pour half of the water into the pan, cover it with a lid, put it on fire and bring to a boil. Next, remove the lid, place a colander on the pan, so that it does not touch the water, and put rice in it. Put the lid on top of the colander and cook the rice for half an hour. During this period, we mix it several times. After half an hour, turn off the burner and let the rice brew for another 10 minutes. Then we also put it in portions on plates, not forgetting to add salt, and serve it to the table.
