How to make delicious steamed rice with old rice

Old rice does not refer to the rice of the current year, that is, it is not fresh rice. The taste of old rice may be slightly worse than that of new rice, but as long as it is not moldy or deteriorated, its nutritional value is still good. When steaming rice with old rice, you should soak it in clean water for a while. This will help the old rice become softer and taste better. Let's learn more about this.

How to make delicious steamed rice with old rice

Method: 1. Wash the old rice first, soak it in clean water for two hours, then put it into a pot, add appropriate amount of hot water and a tablespoon of vegetable oil, stir it a few times with a spoon, bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over low heat for half an hour. The rice cooked in this way will be the same as the rice cooked with new rice. 2. Add 1/4 or 1/5 of beer to the water when cooking rice. The rice cooked in this way will not only be sweet but also have a good luster, just like new rice. 3. Use tea to cook old rice to make rice that is colorful, fragrant and delicious. Preparation method: Take 1-3 grams of tea leaves, soak them in 500-1000 ml of boiling water for 4-9 minutes, then filter out the residue. Then take an appropriate amount of the tea water with the residue removed as rice cooking water and add it to the washed old rice. The rice cooked in this way will have a fragrant aroma. Moreover, cooking with tea has the benefits of removing greasiness, cleaning the mouth, helping digestion and preventing some diseases.

Tips for steaming rice

1. Steaming rice with vinegar: Rice cooked should not be kept for a long time, especially in summer when rice can easily go bad. If you add some vinegar at the ratio of 2-3 ml of vinegar to 1500 grams of rice when steaming it, it can make the rice easier to store and prevent it from going bad. The steamed rice will not have a vinegar smell, but on the contrary, it will have a stronger rice aroma. 2. Add wine to steam rice. This method is only used when steaming half-cooked rice. When you find that the steamed rice is undercooked, use a spatula to loosen it up, add two tablespoons of rice wine and yellow wine, and then simmer it for a while over low heat, and the rice will no longer be undercooked.
