Bonus: Hotel Secrets for
Perfect Rice Texture 1. Rinse the Rice
Rinsing rice before cooking removes excess starch, preventing sticking. Most hotels and restaurants rinse rice until the water runs clear for a fluffier result.
How to do:
1. Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. Steaming:
Once the rice is cooked, let it rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to continue cooking and absorb any residual moisture, resulting in perfectly fluffy grains.
