How to cook rice so that it does not stick? This favorite side dish of many Slovaks is extremely difficult to prepare perfectly. To keep the rice fluffy, it requires a little more attention when cooking. Here are some steps you may want to take:

  • Rinsing – Before cooking, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear – this is the first step to achieving a perfect result.
  • Ratio of water and rice – Use two cups of water for every cup of rice.
  • Cooking — After pouring the rice into the pot and covering it with water, bring the rice to a boil and cook covered for 15-20 minutes.
  • After cooking, let the rice rest covered for about 5 minuteswhich will make it even fluffier.
  • Do not stir the rice while cookingso that the grains do not stick together.
  • Use a pot with a thick bottom that distributes the heat evenly.

Cooking rice is an art that requires patience and practice. Following these simple rules will help you master the preparation of this versatile ingredient. Remember that every attempt brings you closer to perfection. Do not give up and the results will definitely exceed expectations.

On his TikTok account @chefchrischo, Chris Cho presented a simple and effective way to cook rice in a pot.

  • First, he poured the required amount of rice into the pot and – as we also recommend above – he rinsed her thoroughly, even up to three times.

If you’re not sure how much water to add, she offers two homemade tricks.

  • The first is that you press the rice in the pot with your palm and add enough water to reach the level of your fingertips.
  • The second, even simpler way is immerse the index finger in the pot – the water should reach the first joint of the finger.

When cooking rice, he uses the 10-5-5 rule: first bring the rice to a boil and cook 10 minutes on high heatthen 5 minutes on low heat and finally we leave her stand for 5 minutes under the lid to steam. In the finale of his video, he shows perfectly fluffy and perfectly cooked rice that looks like it came from a restaurant.
