not me reminding y’all about your New Year’s resolutions 😳 Make sure to SAVE/SHARE this video for the next time you need to cook rice !! 🍚🫶🏽 Here are some key takeaways from this video: - Measurements: Any type of measuring utensil works when make rice, even any random bowl you have in your cabinet. This works because of the 2:1 liquid to rice ratio. Next thing to keep in mind is, the more rice you cook the bigger pot you will need. If you are making 1-2 cups of rice, I recommend using a large pot so that it has enough room to expand while cooking. If it’s overcrowded it will not cook properly. - Liquids & Fat/Seasoning: As mentioned above, a 2:1 liquid to rice ratio is always the way to go. That being said, the liquid you use can vary! I usually like using chicken/vegetable broth for some extra flavor in place of water. If you want plain rice, be sure to add a pinch of salt like I did for a bit of flavor. For fats, as mentioned it is not mandatory but I find that toasting it almost gives the rice a nice subtle flavor. 1. Add 1/3 cup of long grain basmati rice to your pot. 2. Rinse 2-3 times until the water is clear. 3. Optional: Add 1/4 teaspoon of unsalted butter and constantly stir rice at a medium heat for 1-2 minutes. 4. Add in 1/4 teaspoon of pink himalayan salt and mix everything together 5. Add in 2/3 cup of water and turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil and let it cook for 1-2 minutes. 6. Cover with a lid and turn the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes. Make sure during this time you DO NOT open the lid or stir the rice let it cook with the lid on as is. 7. Optional: After that time is up you can let it sit for 5 minutes off the heat to ensure it is cooked through. The residual heat will cook it even with it being on heat. I don’t do this step often if I am being honest but I know it is sometimes hard to tell if you forgot to set a timer or just aren’t sure. 8. Fluff with a fork and enjoy!
