White rice
To start, you need chilled white rice which we advise you to have prepared the day before.
How to do ?
- Place a saucepan over high heat, add the rice, water (1 part rice to 2 parts water) and salt.
- Cook for 5 minutes, until the water evaporates.
- Then reduce the heat to a minimum, put a lid on your pan and cook for a quarter of an hour. If you find that the rice is not cooked to your liking, extend the cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
- After cooking, immediately place your rice in the refrigerator (be aware that it can only be kept for one day in the fridge, after this time it becomes dry).
My advice :
- To successfully cook your rice, certain conditions must be met:
- Choose a pan that does not stick.
- Adjust the cooking heat so that it is not too high.
- Respect the water-rice ratio: 1 cup of rice for 2 cups of water.
