Brilio.net - Rice is the main source of carbohydrates which is the staple food of the Indonesian people. According to chhs.colostate.edu, carbohydrates function as the main source of energy for the body. Carbohydrates help support energy needs. Thus, carbohydrates in rice play an important role in maintaining stamina throughout the day.
Quality rice usually has a soft, smooth texture and bright white color. In addition to the quality of rice, the right cooking technique also plays a role in producing perfect rice. The combination of quality rice and the right cooking method makes rice tastier.
Well, usually people measure the amount of water using their fingers when cooking rice . The finger used is the index finger, the volume of water reaches the first joint of the finger. Unfortunately, this method does not always work. The resulting rice is too soft or vice versa.
As a solution, you can imitate the way to cook rice shown by TikTok user @istri_ngonten, quoted by BrilioFood on Sunday (10/27). In her video upload, this woman provides a tutorial on cooking rice with the right amount of water without using finger measurements.

Next, wash the rice under running water. To make it perfectly clean, rinse the rice 2-3 times. Then drain the rice until the water content is gone.

Then, add water with the same amount as the rice as much as 1 3/4 cups. To make the result perfectly soft, add another 1/4 cup of water to the rice. So the amount of water used is as much as the amount of rice plus 1/4 cup.

Close the rice cooker and cook the rice until done. Wait approximately 30 minutes to get perfectly cooked rice. The texture is just right, not too soft or hard.
