Steam Rice Cooking Method
Steam rice is known for its soft texture, natural aroma, and quick cooking time. It is commonly used in everyday meals and is preferred because it cooks faster compared to other varieties.
Soaking Process
Before cooking, the rice should be soaked in clean
water.
Soaking Time: Approximately 30 minutes
Soaking helps the grains absorb moisture, which ensures even cooking and improves the final texture of the rice.
Cooking Process
First, bring a pot of water to a full boil.
Once the water starts boiling, add the soaked rice.
Allow the rice to cook in the boiling water.
Cooking Time
8 minutes for fully cooked rice (firm and perfectly cooked grains)
7 minutes for slightly lighter cooking
Result
When cooked properly, steam rice becomes soft, fluffy, and aromatic, with each grain remaining separate.
