whats best way to cook rice which is light and fluffy?

Answer 1

Use Uncle Ben's parboiled white rice. It is the BEST! It's a little expensive, though. I hate sticky, gluey, clumpy rice. Uncle Ben's rice turns out perfect everytime. Very fluffy, loose, and not toooo soft. If you use another kind of rice, use a rice cooker, it does help.

Answer 2

I just buy an instant rice and follow directions for proportions on the package. I boil the water, add a little bit of butter, add the rice and set aside (on a burner, turned OFF) for approximately 10-15 minutes (covered). This keeps the rice from sticking and when you stir it, it comes out nice and fluffy, with a hint of butter flavor.

Answer 3

Remember this rule,2:1.Unless it is specified otherwise you usually have one part rice to two parts water,or chicken stock,veggie stock or whatever flavor you want to infuse into the rice.This means for every cup of rice use two cups of liquid of your choice.I have found as well that if I pearl my rice first,that is I saute it in some kind of oil(olive,butter),until the rice takes on a pearled appearance,than add the liquid,it does wonders to plump up and fluff the rice so to speak.Follow the cooking time on the package or box,or if there isn't any,try thirty minutes and then taste rice.Avoid stirring the rice too much and always cook over medium heat,never high.Good luck.

Answer 5

If you are making a cup of rice, make sure you put two cups of water for medium, 2 and a half cups for long grain rice and cook on low medium. ;)

Answer 6

Start off with Uncle Ben's rice, don't wash it, lightly brown it in oil, add you're favorite vegetables like onion, mushrooms, bell peppers, a little fresh garlic, add twice amount of water to rice and what ever bullion to meat that you are serving, like pork or beef or chicken, only use half a cube if using Knorr to one cup of uncooked rice. Great results and combinations to do.

Answer 7

eating places continuously use ricecookers, and they continuously placed the exact same quantity of water in the rice. How a lot water you want relies upon on the type of rice and the cooking approach you pick. i exploit a rice cooker, and forms of rice require different quantities of wter.
