How to cook rice using a rice cooker
This recipe will show you how simple it is to cook rice using the rice cooker!
Equipment
- rice cooker
Ingredients
- tap water for rinsing
- 2 c filtered water
- 2 c rice short grain, long grain, or medium grain
Instructions
- Measure 2 cups of rice, then add it to the rice maker. The rice maker I have includes an measuring cup, and I usually use it to measure rice as well as water.
- Cleanse rice in cool running water. Utilize your fingertips to push the rice gently to wash the grains. Remove the water as soon as it begins changing hue. Repeat this procedure two times. Make sure you drain the water once you've completed.
- After cleaning the rice and wash off the rinse water then add 2 cups of water filtered in the pot.
- The rice pot should be returned into the rice machine. Make sure the rice cooker is running and following the instructions on the manual. The rice cooker has an "quick" setting along with an "normal" setting. I typically opt for "quick" because it gives me the same results but in less time. When the rice is being cooked be sure not to move the lid to ensure to not lose steam.
- When the rice is cooked when the rice is cooked, close the cooker for 5 minutes more.
- Lift the lid and then make sure to fluff the rice using the rice paddle.
- Serve rice on bowls and then enjoy.
Notes
The grain of rice used in this recipe is interchangeable. You can choose to use small grain or medium or long grain using identical ratios. If you'd like to add more rice, apply this same proportion. For instance, you can use two cups of rice to the equivalent of two cups of water, and the list goes on.
