We all know that we need to drink a lot of water to stay hydrated. But how much water should you add to rice? This is a very common question asked by students, especially in the morning. While it is a good habit to drink a lot of water, not all water is created equal. Water that we drink from a faucet is filtered and there is no heavy metals. Water that is found in a plastic bottle is not filtered at all. This can cause numerous health problems in the long run. On the other hand, water that is used to cook rice can also be harmful. The presence of salt and other food additives makes the water unsafe to drink. So, how much water do you add to rice?
Do You Add the Right Amount of Water?
The most common way to cook rice is to add water to the rice, cover it, and put it in a pressure cooker. While this method is effective, there is another way to cook rice. Traditional methods of cooking rice involved mixing the rice with other ingredients. This included water, spices and salt. The water was added in different amounts, depending on the type of rice. For example, Asian rice, which is lighter and has more starch, needs less water than the darker brown and glutinous varieties. According to the New York Times, adding more than double the amount of water to rice makes it starchy, and adding too little water makes it sticky. Additionally, rice is actually a grain, not a vegetable. It does not have nutritional value, so it is not a source of food. However, it can be used as a starch source. It should not be used as a substitute for a plant-based meal.
How to Use Rice
We can make rice about three times a week. To make rice take about 1.5 cups of rice and 1.5 cups of water. Put the water into the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer for about 45 minutes. In the meantime, place the rice into a sieve and rinse it for about 10 minutes under cold water. Put the rice back into the pot and add the water used to rinse it. Then add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Mix everything together and bring it to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer for 30 minutes. Let it cool. Then store it in a plastic container.
