Do you think the rice cooked every day always tastes good and bad? In fact, a big reason is likely to be "processing after washing rice". An expert with more than 10 years of experience in wholesale of rice grains reminds that many people will make three mistakes after washing rice, resulting in a huge discount on the taste of rice. The following are three major NG behaviors and improvement methods.

Error 1: After washing the rice, dry it and put it on the sieve.

Many people will put the washed rice in the sieve and dry it, but doing so will cause the water-sucking rice grains to contact the air, which will easily cause cracks. Once the rice grains break, the internal powder will be lost, and the cooked food will become sticky and not soft. Experts recommend that after washing the rice, do not dry it, but soak it directly in water, which can reduce the risk of rupture of rice grains.

{9 However, experts remind that the absorption of water from rice grains is not done in an instant, and it must take 1 to 2 hours to allow the water to fully penetrate the center of the rice. If there is not enough soaking time, the rice heart will be harder, and it will be easy to "core" when cooked, which will greatly reduce the taste. Just spend a little more time soaking so that the rice grains can absorb water evenly and the cooked food will be more sweet.

Error 3: The water is too long

Although soaking is a key, "too long" will also be counterproductive. Soaking for a long time can cause powder loss, making the rice more humid and may even produce a strange smell. Especially in summer, if you soak the rice in water all day, there is also the risk of bacteria growing. Experts suggest that it is OK to soak overnight until the next morning to cook, but avoid more than 10 hours to retain the best taste.

The key to delicious rice: Suitable soaking

It is not difficult to cook rice with clear grains and sweet rice. First, do not dry it after washing, and soak it directly in water. Second, soak for 1 to 2 hours to allow the rice center to fully absorb moisture. Third, avoid excessive soaking, especially in hot weather, pay more attention to time. As long as you change these three NG habits, you can easily cook delicious white foods that are comparable to restaurant water at home.
