TRICKS TO COOK PERFECT WHITE RICE:

Cook white rice is one of those elaborations that, at the beginning, more headaches has meant. It sticks to the bottom of the pot, we pass cooking, we do rations for a whole regiment, when we only wanted for two people ...

HOW TO COOK WHITE RICE CORRECTLY: 

This point is quite broad. So I will do a simple step by step to cook white rice.

1.- If we have said that a glass of rice is a serving for two people, we will need two glasses of water(double) to cook it. So we put that amount of water in a little pot and bring it to a boil, with a pinch of salt

2.- When it begins to boil, we toss the rice and stir it briefly. This is to make sure it does not stick in the background. Once this is done, we do not remove it again, because it would release its starch and it does not matter if this happens. We let the rice cook over low-light fire , until it has absorbed almost all the water. About 15-20 minutes

3 .- When we see that absorbed almost all the water, which in the background is a little water, turn off the fire. If we left the fire still lit, it is very likely that the rice will stick. We tested it and confirmed that it is still somewhat hard. This is good. What you have to do is cover the casserole where you are cooking the rice and let it stand for 5 minutes. After this time, try it and you will see that it is perfect. Al "dente"

And this is how much you have to do to cook a white rice . Now that you know this simple method, you will never have a problem cooking this popular food in the world!
