How to cook rice of different varieties correctly and how much: for rolls, sushi, for garnish, how to make crumbly rice, instructions with proportions, photos and videos.

I love rice in every dish. I looked at a mixture of 4 rice for a long time, but the price confused me. I finally bought it in a magnet for 70 rubles and I want to note that this is not the last time! I liked the rice very much, I will now sometimes buy it.

I have already bought soups from the Fair, which turned out to be great. Rice as well as they do not contain GMOs! As part of steamed rice, brown, red and wild.

The only thing I would like is that there was a little more colored rice.

Beautiful packaging, on which several simple recipes are written on both sides.

But I made my own. I just boiled rice in salted water (35 minutes) and separately cooked goulash with gravy. By the way, I forgot to rinse the rice and came to my senses only when I poured it into boiling water, but to my surprise the water was not as cloudy as with plain rice, but then I washed it.

Goulash. Over high heat, fried pork for 5 minutes, lowered the heat, added onions and fried for another 5 minutes. Then she diluted a few pinches of flour in a glass of water, poured water into a frying pan (by the way, pour water at your discretion, as you like, I like a lot of gravy), added spices, salt, pepper, parsley and quite a bit Provence herbs. Then a tablespoon of tomato paste and left on a tiny fire to stew for 1 hour.

When the rice was ready, poured it with gravy and laid out the meat.

It was very, very tasty! My husband loved it and so did my little daughter. But delicious not only because of the gravy. We also tasted the rice itself. Very pleasant taste! It looks nice and neat, nothing has boiled and turned into porridge, the rice is crumbly.

The benefits and popularity of rice are evidenced by the fact that more than half of the world's population has it on the table every day. This is one of the oldest cultures, domesticated more than 8 thousand years ago. In many Asian countries, this is the national cereal; the Japanese eat it three times a day. There are many dishes from this cereal, and each requires a certain type of cereal and cooking method. We have prepared a complete guide for you, in which we will tell you how to choose rice and how to cook it properly.

Are all types equally useful?

There are about 10 thousand varieties of cereal, of which only 20-30 are used in cooking. Grains differ in the method, degree of processing and varieties.

Method and degree of processing

Paddy rice - "unhulled" or unprocessed. Grains are sold in the husk and brownish bran shell, which retains all the vitamins and minerals given by nature. Popular with healthy eaters.

Paddy rice is not processed, retaining all the beneficial properties in the bran shell and husk

Brown (brown), like paddy, is not polished. The grains are freed from the husk, while the bran shell remains. This allows you to save all the nutrients, which makes the variety the most valuable for nutrition.

Brown rice retains the bran husk but removes the husk

White or polished - peeled from the shell, and with it from most of the vitamins and trace elements. In terms of usefulness, it loses to paddy and brown, but it is stored longer.

Polished rice is devoid of a shell, and with it most of the vitamins and minerals

Steamed (golden). The product is subjected to steam treatment, during which 80% of the useful substances from the shell pass into the grains, after which the cereal is polished. The steamed variety retains all the advantages and is devoid of the disadvantages of the raw product.

After processing, most of the nutrients from the shell pass into steamed rice

In cooking, a classification is adopted according to the shape and size of the grain.

Table: comparative characteristics of rice of different grain shapes

Photo gallery: culinary varieties

Round grain rice has the highest starch content, suitable for making porridge Medium grain rice can also be brown, this variety has a medium starch content Medium grain rice is considered universal, used for cooking any dishes. Long grain rice has a long thin grain, best suited for making fluffy rice. Short grain rice is used for making sushi and rolls

Nutritional value and calories

They are determined by the composition of the grains. The cereal is almost 8% protein, while it does not contain gluten, which causes an allergic reaction. The content of complex carbohydrates (starch) in some varieties reaches 78%.

There is little fiber in rice, in brown 4.5%, polished - 3%. Groats contain a whole range of vitamins and minerals. These are vitamins A, E, PP, group B (folic acid, pantothenic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin), zinc, calcium, iron, iodine, and rice surpasses other cereals in the content of potassium and phosphorus. Most of the vitamins and minerals are contained in the shell, so the unpolished look is much more useful.

The calorie content of the product depends on its variety and method of preparation, 100 gr. product contains 140-360 kcal. In brown groats 285 kcal, the calorie content of white round grains is 340 kcal. At the same time, 100 gr. boiled rice contains only 140 kcal, fried 150 kcal.

Despite the differences, all types and varieties of rice are useful, but to varying degrees.

Useful properties and their application

The cereal is widely used in dietary nutrition. The low fiber content makes the product easy to digest, and the starch provides energy for a long time.
The high content of "long" carbohydrates helps diabetics maintain a constant level of sugar in the blood.
The decoction helps with diarrhea and indigestion by coating the mucous membrane and absorbing toxins.
B vitamins normalize the digestive and nervous systems, increase resistance to stress, improve the condition of hair, skin and nails.
The high content of potassium and the absence of salts helps to cleanse the joints, improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system, normalizes blood pressure and kidney function.
The ability to remove toxins, the absence of salt and low calorie content allow the use of unrefined varieties for weight loss.
Rice is also applicable in sports nutrition for muscle building. In 100 gr. The product contains up to 8 g of protein necessary for this.

This is interesting! Japanese scientists have found that regular consumption of brown rice improves memory and intelligence.

How to cook - the secrets of cooking the right rice

Cooking the right rice is not easy. To do this, you need to choose a suitable variety, take cereals and liquid in the right proportion, strictly follow the technology.

Rules for making friable rice

If every housewife succeeds in cooking porridge, then difficulties often arise when preparing friable porridge. There are a few simple rules to ensure that the dish is guaranteed to turn out:

Take long-grain varieties, experts recommend using Basmati and Jasmine.
The classic ratio of cereals and water is 1:2.
Rinse the grain several times before cooking to remove excess starch.
Load the cereal into boiling water.
Cook the dish over low heat.
During cooking, do not open the lid and do not stir the cereal.

Advice! After washing, soak the cereal in hot water. This will release the enzymes and improve the body's absorption of calcium, magnesium and zinc. The taste of the dish will become more intense.

Cooking features

Cooking methods differ for different varieties, utensils used and the purpose of the product. The general rule for all methods: rice must be washed before cooking.

For garnish, salads

For these purposes, they take long-grain varieties and prepare friable rice, which has already been mentioned. Italians use this recipe:

If rice is intended for a side dish, put a piece of butter in the pan after cooking, or pour in 1 tbsp. olive spoon. For salads, ready-made cereals can be washed to increase friability.

For sushi, rolls

Choose a round variety with a short grain, it contains a lot of starch and after cooking it acquires the necessary stickiness. For 1 cup of cereal, 1.5 cups of water are taken.

For pilaf

Any variety is used to prepare pilaf: long-grain, round, medium and even short-grain, but connoisseurs recommend Uzbek varieties. But any rice requires preliminary preparation so that during the cooking process the grains are saturated with zirvak (broth).

After washing, the grits are soaked in warm water with the addition of salt. Water will remove excess starch, “open” the grains, salt will not allow them to stick together. Soaking time depends on the type of cereal, but should not be less than 2 hours.
Rice is soaked before cooking
After soaking, the water is drained and the cereal is loaded into a boiling zirvak. It is important that the rice is completely covered with zirvak. If there is not enough liquid, add water so that it is at least 2 cm above the surface of the grains.
If necessary, water is added to the cauldron
The fire is increased to the maximum, after boiling, the heat is reduced and the pilaf is simmered until cooked.
The dish is not closed with a lid and the dish is not stirred until the liquid is absorbed. As the moisture evaporates, the floating fat will sink down, soaking the cereal. It will acquire the desired taste and aroma, and the fat will not allow the grains to stick together.
Simmer uncovered until liquid is absorbed
When there is no water left on the surface, rice is collected in a slide, the dishes are tightly closed with a lid and left to languish for half an hour.
After that, pilaf can be mixed, put on a dish and enjoy.
Put the finished pilaf on a dish

Kashi

Porridges are prepared from starchy varieties - round and medium grains. The amount of water is taken depending on the desired viscosity of the dish, see the proportions of cereals and water in the table. This dish must be stirred during cooking, otherwise the porridge will burn.

Most often, milk porridges are prepared. To make the dish, the cereal is first boiled in water, and then milk is added and cooking continues.

How to cook milk porridge

Advice! Don't put the rice in the milk right away, the porridge will take longer to cook.

Video: how to cook milk rice porridge

If you cook porridge in water, pour the required amount of liquid into the pan at once and cook, stirring, until tender.

Cooking different types of rice

Increasingly, when choosing a variety of rice, preference is given to brown (brown) because of its greater usefulness. But not everyone knows how to cook an unusual product. Some nuances should be taken into account.

Cooking brown rice

After washing, the grits are soaked for 2-3 hours.
During the cooking process, the volume of cereal increases by 3 times, so 2.5 glasses of water are taken for 1 glass of cereal.
It is better to use wide and flat dishes for uniform heating of the entire volume of cereals.
Cooking time is 30-40 minutes, until the liquid is completely absorbed. After that, the rice is left under the lid for another 15-20 minutes.

The cooking process itself is no different from the preparation of friable rice.

For inexperienced housewives, the easiest way to achieve a good result is to cook rice in bags.

How to cook rice in bags

To do this, you will need a large saucepan, water, salt and a bag of rice.

Rice in bags is easy to cook even for an inexperienced housewife

Pour more water into the pot and boil it. At least 1 liter of water is taken per 1 sachet.
Salt the water to taste, dip the bag into it. It is not necessary to open and pierce the package, it already has holes.
Close the pot with a lid and cook over medium heat. Cooking time is indicated on the package. Usually for white it is 12-18 minutes, for brown 22-25 minutes.
After cooking, remove the bag from the pan with a slotted spoon or with a fork.
Let the water drain by placing the bag in a colander.
Open the bag from one end, put the finished dish on a plate, add oil or sauce.

Groats in bags do not need to be pre-washed, they are already fully prepared for cooking and steamed. Steamed rice is sold not only in bags. Its cooking technology is the same as white, but it takes a little more time - 20-30 minutes.

Cooking in various kitchen appliances

All kinds of kitchen gadgets greatly simplify the cooking process. If your home has a slow cooker, steamer, microwave, or rice cooker, use them.

In a double boiler

Pour the seeds with hot water and leave for 30 minutes.
Drain the water, put the cereal in an even layer in a special stand for rice.
Pour water into the steamer tank, set the “cereals” mode, set the timer for 30 minutes.
After the end of the cycle, leave the dish in the appliance for 5-7 minutes to ripen.

Pour hot water in a ratio of 1: 2, salt.
Close the dishes with a lid, put in the oven for 5 minutes, turning on the maximum power.

In a rice cooker

The easiest cooking method available. It is enough to lay the products, pour in water in the right proportion and turn on the device. He will do the rest himself.

Put the products in the rice cooker, it will do the rest

Advice! When choosing utensils for cooking rice on the stove, give preference to thick-walled pots or a deep cast-iron skillet. They retain heat longer, and warm up more evenly.

The common joke about how the Chinese, who would be very surprised to learn that rice is a side dish, has a basis. This product is self-sufficient and tasty on its own, and skillfully prepared, it may well replace a full meal. Take advantage of the knowledge gained and enjoy the taste of this healthy cereal.

Many, looking at the recipe, will decide, they say, Anka is completely insolent, already boiled rice in the recipes indicates. But I'll answer you here. Loose rice, not porridge, you must be able to cook correctly. So I decided to tell you about this, how to cook friable rice correctly.

1. So, yes. The proportion of rice and water is 1 to 1.5. We take a glass of rice. The rule is suitable for any kind of rice, I have a mixture of brown and wild.

2. Rice is washed under running water until the water becomes clear.

3. Pour the washed rice with boiling water in a ratio of 1 to 1.5. For a glass of rice, you need, respectively, 1.5 cups of boiling water. We don't salt!

4. We cover the pan with a lid, put a load on top so that water does not flow out of the pan during cooking, so that the lid does not rise with steam.
Now it’s just mathematically exactly necessary to cook rice:
3 minutes on high heat
7 minutes on medium heat,
2 minutes - on the weak.

Total 12 minutes. Not more. After cooking, turn off the fire, but do not open the lid, let the rice stand for 12 minutes under the lid.

5. Open the pan, we see ready-made friable rice!

6. Now it's time to salt the rice to taste, if required, add oil as well. We didn't need to.) We mix everything. Look, not a single grain of rice stuck to the stewpan, the rice is crumbly, not sticky, not at all a messy porridge.

7. Well, there is always something to serve with rice! I had a chicken breast in a ginger-orange marinade according to this recipe and a delicious simple diet salad also according to
