Helpful Tips


Brown rice vs. white: If nutrition is your first priority, the choice is easy. Brown rice has far higher amounts of vitamins E and B, minerals, fiber and protein. These nutrients are located in the outer layer of grain--the germ and bran. White rice is made by removing this nutritious outer layer, leaving behind mostly starch.

Step 2Wet it

This important point is worthy of its own step. Measure one cup (250 ml) of water for every cup (250 grams) of dry rice in the pot. Also, add one full cup of water "for the pot." This allows for the water lost due to steam and evaporation during cooking.

  • If you are in the habit of burning your rice, add a little more water to the pot this time! Also, add extra water if you prefer stickier rice. Less water makes for drier, fluffier dishes. It all depends in how you plan to use it.

     

  • Pass the salt: If you want to add salt, now's the time to add it.
