HOW TO COOK RED RICE:
You need 1 cup whole Red Rice
INSTRUCTIONS:
Whatever cup that you use to measure the rice, will be the same cup you use to measure the liquid.
Rinse the rice in several changes of water to get rid of any impurities. Not much starch will come out of this because the rice is whole-grain and unpolished. Drain off excess water.
Soak the rice for atleast 1 hour in warm water or for 2 hours or overnight in normal water before use.
Cooking with rice cooker:
Put the rice and the required water with salt as per taste in the rice cooker. Stir to mix. Close the lid and if your rice cooker. When it's done cooking, wait 10 minutes before opening the lid to fluff the rice with a fork.
Cooking on the stove:
Use a heavy-bottom pot with a tight-fitting lid. Pour water into the pot and bring to a boil. When the water comes to a boil, add the rice and some salt. Give it a stir and bring it back to a boil and then lower the heat to let it gently simmer. Cover with a lid and let it cooks for the next 45-50 minutes for unsoaked rice and about 25-30 minutes for soaked rice or until the rice are soft and fluffy. Turn off the heat and let it rests for 10 minutes before opening the lid. After that, uncover the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. The rice is ready to be served.
