Rice is one of the most commonly used cereals. You can prepare first and second courses, desserts and salads from it. Rice porridge is a dish used in both baby and diet food. It can be liquid, semi-viscous, viscous and crumbly. There are several secrets in cooking friable rice, so beloved by many as a side dish.
Instructions
Step 1
Take long grain rice. Go through it, removing debris and spoiled grains. Place the rice in a deep bowl and cover with cold water. Rub the rump between your palms and rinse the rice. Drain the water. Continue rinsing the rice until the drained water is completely clear. Then place the rice in a colander and let it dry a little.
Step 2
The first way
Take a cast iron pot with a thick bottom - it is best for cooking loose rice. If you don't have a pot, use an enamel saucepan. Pour water into a saucepan. In terms of volume, it should be twice as large as rice. Put water on fire and bring it to a boil.
Step 3
Season with salt and rinsed rice to taste. Mix everything well with a spoon, not allowing the cereal to stick to the bottom of the pan. Cook the rice for 3 minutes over high heat under a tightly closed lid. Then reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for another 7 minutes. Then, turn the heat on low and cook the rice for another 2 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the pan from the heat and, without opening, put it in the oven, preheated to 150 ° C for 12-15 minutes. After that, the crumbly rice can be seasoned with butter and served.
Step 5
Second way
Use this method when cooking crumbly rice to garnish meat or fish dishes. Fry grated carrots and chopped onions in any vegetable oil until half cooked. Add washed rice to vegetables and fry everything, stirring occasionally, over low heat for 15 minutes.
Step 6
Place the fried rice in boiling salted water and simmer until tender. For 1 part rice, take 2 parts water.
