How to make purple lentil stewed rice

Food shows are very popular nowadays, and I believe you must be envious of them in front of the TV. Then I will introduce to you a dish of purple lentil rice. You must try to make it yourself according to the steps below.

1. When buying purple lentils, choose plump ones with small grains.

2.12 Tear off the stems at both ends, break them, wash and drain, and set aside

3.21 Wash a normal amount of rice, add water, and cook it like porridge. Add more water, not less. Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat to low. (After the water boils, the fire cannot be too big, as the rice will explode. Cook it slowly over medium or low heat until the water surface shows signs of rolling). The cooking time depends on the amount of rice. Cook until the rice becomes transparent. Take one to taste. If it feels a little undercooked, you can turn off the heat.

4.12 Drain the cooked rice with a colander, and drink the rice soup in a bowl, which is very nutritious.

5.21 At this time, start the wok and add a proper amount of oil, just like the amount of oil you usually put in when cooking (if you eat lard, it will be more fragrant if you use lard)

6. Heat the oil until it is 50% to 60% cooked (slightly smoking), pour the clean lentils into the wok and fry for a few times

7. Then add salt, chicken powder, and MSG for seasoning. If you like the rice to be richer in color, you can add a little dark soy sauce. Stir-fry for half a minute and spread the drained rice evenly on the lentils.

8. As shown in the picture, spread the drained rice evenly on the lentils, use chopsticks to poke a few holes in the rice evenly to let the steam from the bottom come up, then use the ceramic bowl you usually use for eating to fill a bowl of water and sprinkle it evenly on the rice and the edge of the wok.

9. Cover the pot, as shown in the picture, and simmer slowly over low heat. Remember, do not open the lid in the middle of the process. This is the key point.

10. Cover the pot

11. Simmer for 5-8 minutes, cover the rice, and open the lid. A fragrant aroma will come out.

12. Stir the steamed rice and rice soup evenly to make your mouth water.

13. Good smell

This is the end of the introduction to the recipe of purple lentil rice. It’s up to you from now on. So, start cooking in the kitchen from now on. Believe that you can defeat yourself and it can also defeat it.
