Brilio.net - Rice is one of the staple foods that cannot be separated from the daily lives of Indonesian people. As the main source of carbohydrates, rice is the main choice in various dishes. Usually, rice will be cooked into rice that can be consumed with various types of side dishes and vegetables.
When cooking rice , most people now use a rice cooker. This electronic device can cook rice perfectly in a short time. However, in some cases, rice cookers sometimes make rice stick to the inner pot or rice cooker pan.
To overcome this, some people usually add special ingredients, such as cooking oil when cooking rice. Cooking oil is considered to be able to make rice more sticky and not sticky. In addition, some cooking oils such as coconut oil and sesame oil can enhance the taste or aroma of rice.
But besides adding cooking oil, there are other ways to prevent rice from sticking when cooked in a rice cooker. This other method was once used by a netizen with the Instagram account @asi.siswandari. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted that the rice washing process could affect the cooked rice.

How to use it, just prepare the rice and add enough water to wash it. After that, add 1/2 tsp of salt. Then, stir and wash as usual. Then throw away the washing water.
If so, you can repeat the washing process up to 2 times. So, the addition of salt is done in the first washing process. In addition to removing dirt, adding salt when washing rice can also eliminate unpleasant odors.
