This is a method that I have used for years and my rice is perfect every time- I will call for Basmati rice (my favorite) in the recipe but any long grain white rice is fine. You can also cook brown rice with this method but it takes a little longer cooking time. If you use the chicken stock powder don't use a tsp for each person if say you are cooking rice for 6 don't go over 1 tbsp Pre soaking your rice removes some starch and allows it to cook faster. If you wish add some fresh chopped chives. Ingredients:
1/3 cup basmati rice |
3 cups water (apprx) |
1 teaspoon chicken stock powder (optional) or 1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder (optional) |
Directions:
1. Measure your rice into a pot and cover it with water until the water is apprx 1/2 over the top of the rice.
2. Soak the rice for at least 1 hour.
3. Pour off the water and replace with fresh water,again, the water should be apprx 1/2 over the top of the rice.
4. Add 1 tsp of stock powder if using.
5. Bring rice to a boil,uncovered, simmer for apprx 7 minutes, keep checking until the kernels are perfect.
6. Drain in a sieve and run hot water through it.
7. Serve now or return to the pot lid on and keep over lowest stove temp until the rest of your dinner is ready.It can sit like this for up to 10 minutes.
