Brilio.net - Cooking rice is one of the activities often done in the kitchen, but for some people, the process can feel long. Even using a rice cooker, the time needed to cook rice can range from 40 minutes to an hour, depending on the type of rice used and the power of the rice cooker itself. This process can feel less efficient, especially for people who are in a hurry or want to prepare food quickly.
One reason why rice takes a long time to cook is because rice cookers work by heating water to a boil, which then evaporates and soaks into the rice grains. Some types of rice, such as black rice or brown rice, take longer to cook than regular white rice. In addition, other factors such as the amount of water used and the temperature of the rice cooker can also affect cooking time.
Well, to overcome this, you can actually cook rice in another way. An Instagram user @rumah_stia once revealed it through one of the videos uploaded. She admitted that it only takes 10 minutes to cook rice so that the results are more sticky and perfectly cooked.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @rumah_stia on Thursday (6/2), the cooking technique used is using a pan and stove. Instead of using a rice cooker , he chose the manual method of cooking rice. Even so, the rice results can be more satisfying and cooked quickly, you know.

Well, the first thing to do is to wash the rice thoroughly. Then put it in a pan and fill it with water according to the measurement. It is better to use a thick pan made of stainless steel, cast iron, or nonstick so that the rice does not burn easily when cooked later. Next, turn on the stove with a large volume and let it boil until the water boils.

When it boils, stir and cover the pan. Then reduce the heat to the lowest volume. Then cook for 10 minutes. After that, turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 10 minutes in a closed pan position. This will make the cooking process more optimal, so the texture of the rice will also be more sticky.

Then after letting it sit, open the lid of the pan and stir the rice. Now, the cooked rice can be served immediately to be eaten. With a simple technique, without a rice cooker and steamer, the rice can still be cooked perfectly and the texture is more sticky.

The method is quite easy, wash the rice and fill it with water (ratio 1:1.5). After that, put it in the microwave and cook for 10 minutes with a heat setting of 900 watts. When done, take out the rice and stir it.
"Cooking rice can really be that fast and easy," said Instagram @rumah_stia.
