- Rinsing rice helps get rid of any starch and impurities. Rinse until the water is clear and not cloudy.
- Use 1 cup rice to 1.5cup water.
- Remove the lid to allow steam to escape when the rice is cooked. This allows extra moisture to evaporate and for the rice to be tender and separated.
- Fluff up the rice with a fork before serving.
This is the quick meal that I cooked up when Sheen asked for some food on a lazy Saturday noon.
I used ingredients like dried shrimp, chinese sausage, bak-kwa, chinese mushroom and mixed vegetables to come up with this one-pot rice in a flash.
Sheen likes it very much cos it taste just like his favourite glutinous rice, except it is using brown rice and with add veg!
That looks really good and healthy! My favourite's chicken and salted fish fried rice :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I usually place a clean tea towel between the pot of uncooked rice and the lid- it could just be me but I find that it helps the rice come out really nice and fluffy.
The young man eats alot, doesn't he? =)
ReplyDeleteHi Laureen,

Chicken and salted fish sounds good. Reminds me of claypot rice! Yum!!!
