It is relatively simple to cook brown rice in an electric rice cooker. Just wash the rice, put it in the rice cooker, add appropriate amount of water and it is ready to cook. Brown rice has a relatively high nutritional value and is rich in dietary fiber. Due to the different processing methods, brown rice retains more nutritional value. Eating more brown rice can not only regulate the stomach, but also has certain anti-cancer effects, which is very good for the body. How to cook brown rice using an electric rice cooker : 1. When washing the rice, gently rub and quickly stir the rice with your hands. Wash it twice in a row because all the nutrients of brown rice are on the surface, which should not be washed away. 2. The amount of water added depends on the softness of the rice. If you are only cooking white rice, the ratio of water to rice should be about 1.0 to 1.2 times. However, if you are cooking a mixture of brown rice and white rice, the amount of water must be increased to 1.3 times (calculated by volume). 3. Soaking in water is to allow the rice grains to fully absorb water so that the rice can be cooked evenly. The soaking time for white rice is about 30 minutes, and the soaking time for brown rice is about 10 to 12 hours to increase its digestion and absorption rate. 4. White rice can be cooked in a regular rice cooker. Avoid lifting the lid during the cooking process to prevent excessive evaporation of water. When brown rice is cooked in a regular rice cooker, it must be "secondarily cooked". If a pressure cooker can be used, its taste quality and digestion and absorption rate can be effectively improved. 5. After cooking, simmer in the remaining heat of the pot for about 20 minutes to make the rice more chewy.There is another way to cook it: When cooking brown rice, just add ice cubes to the water and the cooked rice will be as soft and delicious as white rice. The method is to replace half of the water in the inner pot with ice cubes. For example, when cooking two cups of rice, you would originally put more than two cups of water. At this time, put one cup of water in the refrigerator to freeze, then take it out and add it to the inner pot to cook together. In this way, the temperature of the water and the rice will drop, the cooking process will be longer, and the cooked rice grains will be more fluffy and easier to chew. |
