With comfort foodstuffs being easily available in the market nowadays, almost everyone has grown to become somewhat rusty even on  simple food preparation. Cooking rice is a great example.At the grocery, I was amazed to find cooked rice and veggies inside the fridge section, all wrapped-up, with a cheery label telling, “ready in four minutes”! Furthermore, there are cartons of fried rice made available in several varieties of flavors and meats. Just like a Chinese take out carton, your rice is nuked and ready to serve.

So what was I doing, perusing these shelves of convenience foods? So why I was trying to find my nuke and serve lasagna – hey, I was short on time! The thing is, all of us are short on time, but with soaring food prices, some dishes would be best made from scratch with some of our helpful kitchen appliances. Some of the comfort foods are not well worth the high price. Preparing rice, for instance, is one of these cases.

Many Chinese food cooks scoff at the idea of cooking a large batch of rice and freezing portions for upcoming meals. They consider that it is really easy to make rice. In contrary, personally that isn’t the case. I can prepare rice in just a single effort. Rice freezes very well, so keep that little word of advice in your mind. By doing this, it would be convenient for me to obtain a bag out from the refrigerator and simply steam it in a microwave specially if i’m in haste for work. After all, that’s what those costly  food manufacturers are trying to sell: saving you the effort and time of preparing rice!

Let me reveal to you the way to prepare rice in a nice, fluffy and never sticky way.

1. Get yourself a rice and vegetable steamer, in case you do not have one in your own home. This is often a very beneficial appliance as it presents simple cleanup, doesn’t need to be watched at and yes it guarantees to offer you the maximum nutritive advantage out of the cooked rice. They are available in different sizing’s and selling prices from $10 to $20. A normal appliance has the motor on the bottom, with a cook-and-serve bowl which fits into a lip which sits on top. All you need to do is determine the quantity of rice needed, add water, place the cover on after which set the timer on. This particular machine will designate the rice to water percentage and its preparing times. Additionally it is best for a dozen various vegetables. You may even dissoleve a chicken ot beef cube in the water. To be able to provide more aroma and flavor to your rice, you may add pasley or quite a few herbs much like the Chinese Five Spice.

2. The second recommended way of preparing rice calls for a 3-quart microwaveable dish to produce five cups of cooked rice. Measure 2 ½ rice cups into the dish, add five cups of water (flavored with bouillon as you desire) plus a tsp of salt. Always mix the salt through the rice. Microwave for thirteen minutes at power level six (based on an 1100-watt oven). There ought to still be water in the bowl. Carry on microwaving in 3 minute increments, at power level 4. Wait until no water remains. Fluff it up using a fork and cover with plastic wrap. Let it steam on the counter for about half an hour.   It ought to be perfect.

Adhere to these guidelines to get a certified and consistent outcome all the time. Cooking rice is simple! My favorite rice is at Monark Asian Bistro Chinese Restaurant in Riverside, CA.
