Rice cooked in a rice cooker is often a practical choice for many people, but not infrequently some people find rice that is actually stale. One of the advantages of using a rice cooker is its ability to cook rice quickly and evenly, but this process also has its own risks.
One of them is humidity in storage that makes rice go stale in a short time. Signs of stale rice include a pungent sour smell, a sticky and watery texture, and the appearance of mold on the surface of the rice. The sour aroma is usually caused by bacterial growth and fermentation, which indicates that the rice was not stored properly after cooking.
In addition, stale rice will taste bad and can affect the quality of the dishes served. It is important to know how to store rice properly after cooking to avoid this problem. One way is to cool the rice before storing it in an airtight container and make sure the rice cooker is not too full when cooking.
However, if you are faced with rice that is almost stale (just a little sour and sticky), there is a trick that can be done to overcome it. Instead of throwing it away immediately, you can save the rice that is starting to sour and soft so that it can be consumed. An Instagram user @ummubalqishaura once shared the trick through one of the videos uploaded.
As reported by BrilioFood on Wednesday (9/10), the first thing to do is to add a little water. Mix the rice with water, then steam the rice for a few minutes. After steaming, immediately remove the rice and cool it first.
