my rice alywas stick ,what is a best way to cook boil rice which they dont stick??

Answer 1

try adding some good oil(like olive my favorite) to the water when cooking rice and make sure you correctly measure the water with a liquid measuring cup and the rice with a dry measuring cup don't be tempted to take the lid off until it is cooked and it has set off the stove for awhile now you'll have light and fluffy rice

Answer 2

The best thing to do is to make sure the rice you're using is not glutinous or it will stick. The best rice for nonstickiness is Birhani or long-grain rice. First, wash the rice several times in a large bowl with really cold water until the rinse is kinda clear, about 3 to 4 times. When washing rice, make sure the rub the grains between your hands to get all the dirt and dust off. Then soak the rice in cold water for at least 1 hour (soaking times vary depending on personal preference and how soft you want the rice to be, experiment to find your own preference). Then heat some oil (about quarter of a cup? I don't know since I never measure ingredients, but experiment to find your preferred ratios) and add the drained rice. Sautee for a couple of minutes then add enough water to cover the rice, but not too much. Basically you need more water than rice, but ratios also depend on your preference. Also, most important step! Right after you add water also add salt to season! If you don't add salt your rice will not taste good (same rule applies to pasta). Stir once to dissolve the salt then let the water reach to a boil while the pot is uncovered.

When the water boils, lower the heat, poke holes with a large wooden spoon into the rice and cover the pot. Let cook for about 10 minutes. Check to see if the water has evaporated, if not, cover and cook for a few minutes more. At this point you may want to repoke the holes into the rice. When all the water is absorbed by the rice that means its ready. Don't cook the rice to long or it will burn!

hello sadia,

I find my rice are NEVER sticky and I use basmati rice or infact any rice from an Asian store will do.

I wash the rice in warm water several times to make the end result whiter.

Amount of water does not matter but you do need about 3 inches of water above the surface of the water. I do not add any ingredient to the pan.

Allow this to boil and after a few minutes check the grain of cooked rice against your thumb and forefinger, to check whether the it is how u want you rice to be. Some people like well cooked rise ie. really soft that it mushes easily, whilst some like to have a slight hardness to it when pressed, before it mushes.

When you feel u have the rice at the right TENDERNESS, remove pan from heat and strain all the water. Discard.

Wash the rice in clean warm water 2-3 times to remove the excess starch which makes the rice sticky. Wash means just adding water and quickly stirring with a spoon.

Add more fresh water, preferably warm water, and again bring to boil then mix rice well before straining the water off again.

You will find that even though you may have drained off all the fluid, there will be some left. To "evaporate" this off, return the pan to the cooker and cover with lid and leave on the lowest flame for about 5 mints. \\test to see if any water at bottom of rice by dipping a spoon. If the spoon is "wet" then leave a little longer. When spoon comes out dry, the rice is done. Remove from heat.

Serve whilst hot or allow to cool. This cooked rice can be used for many rice dishes.

I promise you .........Sadia, cook the rice naturally without anything added to it...... and with several washes and you will have nice, soft, fluffy single grains of rice. Shame i cannot visually teach you this myself, but try it and see............it has to work.

Good-luck.

In a pressure cooker,use 1:2 proportion, of rice is to water, to cook for 2 whistles of the cooker.
Or else use equal qty of both and, cook without the weight on the pressure cooker for 5 mins, and then turn the gas off.
To cook in normal pan use 1:2 rice:water and cook for 10 mins to get steamed rice.
Hint: Add 1 tsp oil of 1tsp lemon juice before cooking to get non sticky rice.

Answer 5

Wash and soak the rice in water for 15 minutes. Boil double the quantity of water and add the rice. When it boils again, lower the flame and in 10 minutes the rice will be ready and fluffy.
