The Perfect Rice – Here’s How To Make It
Perfect rice. Is there any other kind? Not if you use a . If you have enough pressure in your life at work, when you get home you deserve an oasis; in the form of your kitchen, a place where the pressure is kept within the confines of your rice cooker.
Let the sound of the water used to rinse the rice put you into a lower level den, one that hopefully will not make you realize how you need to pee, like right now. A rinse will break down and discard excess starch (to help with digestion), as well as any potential pesticides and herbicides or other contaminants . as to whether warm , cold, or room temperature water is the most beneficial for rinsing.

The vast majority of people are content to simply place the rice into the rice cooker along with the water or any other sneaky delicious ingredients hidden in your arsenal.
