Short grain rice is exceptionally famous in Far Eastern cuisine. It is used when preparing sushi, and also as a side dish for a variety of dishes. But in order for the rice to be cooked in the best possible way, it is necessary to follow a special cooking technology.

You will need

• For sushi rice:
• – 1 tbsp. rice;
• – 3 tbsp. rice vinegar;
• – 1 tbsp. Sahara;
• - a pinch of salt.
• For the risotto:
• – 2 tbsp. rice (round arborio rice is the best option);
• – 3 tbsp. vegetable broth;
• – 60 g butter;
• – 100 g grated Parmesan cheese;
• – 1 tbsp. dry white wine;
• – 300 g chicken fillet;
• – 2/3 tbsp. heavy cream;
• – dried rosemary and oregano;
• – 1 onion;
• - olive oil.

Instructions

1. For sushi, the rice must be sticky and hold its shape. Therefore, its correct preparation is extremely important. Pour the rice into a saucepan and rinse in 4-5 waters. After this, fill it with cold water so that it is 2 fingers larger than the rice. Do not add salt to the water. Place the pan over high heat, and then, when the water boils, reduce it to medium and cook the rice for 20 minutes without stirring. During this time, the water should evaporate. If necessary, you can add more water to the pan. Remove the finished rice from the stove and season with a mixture of vinegar, sugar and salt. Use still warm rice to make sushi and rolls. Rice prepared according to this recipe can be served simply and simply accompanied by slices of fish, seafood or Japanese omelette. 2. For risotto, rinse rice in running water. Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. Heat olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion in it for 4-5 minutes. Pour the broth into the pan and bring it to a boil. Pour rice into the pan and add onion, stir. Salt the broth. Cook the rice for 10 minutes, and then pour the wine into the pan. As a result, the rice should become soft. Season the finished cereal with butter and add Parmesan to it. Prepare the chicken separately. Cut the fillet into small cubes and fry in a frying pan in olive oil for 4-5 minutes until half cooked. After this, salt the meat, add aromatic herbs and pour cream into the pan. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Serve risotto with chicken and sauce. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top of each portion. Note! If a recipe calls for round rice, do not substitute it with long grain or wild rice. Each type of rice has its own properties - short-grain rice is usually more sticky and is better suited for sushi and various cereals, and long-grain rice often turns out more crumbly. Helpful Hint: Even if the rice burns while cooking, do not throw it away entirely. Carefully remove the portion of rice that remains white from the pan. Do not scrape the rice from the bottom - it will ruin the taste of your dish.

Kitchen towels have one quality that is unpleasant for every housewife - they get dirty very quickly. Washing such towels is quite difficult, but every housewife wants to see them clean, fresh and pleasantly smelling. A neat-looking kitchen towel is invariably evidence of how clean the housewife is.

If your kitchen has towels of clear colors, then the water temperature for washing them should be about 90 degrees; for colored ones, the optimal temperature is 40-45 degrees. Clear towels require advance washing before boiling. It is absolutely possible to wash towels with other linen, provided that they have not become too dirty. In order for the towel to remain clean as long as possible, it should be ironed before use, so it will become dirty much more slowly. How should you wash kitchen towels? Before you start washing, you need to soak them for an hour in cool salty water. Prepare a soaking solution based on one tablespoon of salt per liter of water. If you scrupulously soap a towel with laundry soap, then pack it in a plastic bag and leave it like that for a day, then all you have to do is rinse it. Using dishwashing detergents is a great help when washing towels. It is necessary to easily pour this product onto the towels and leave them for a while, then wash them as usual. If countless thick spots have formed on the towels, then soaking them in a vinegar solution will help remove them. Before boiling towels, grate laundry soap and dissolve soda ash in water. Boil the towels in this solution for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

• To do this, it is washed in cold water about five times until the liquid becomes clear. It is more convenient to do this in a sieve.
• When washed, the starch coating that sticks the grains together is removed. During the washing process, rub the grains with your hands - this way the remaining starch is removed more thoroughly.
• Bring to a boil, and then add the prepared cereal. Stir once to prevent the cereal grains from sticking to the bottom of the dish.

Sometimes I make a salad instead of a side dish. Sometimes with rice, sometimes instead of rice and eggs I chop a little white cabbage or Chinese cabbage. With cabbage, the salad turns out easier. Here I’ll tell you about more satisfying options - with rice and eggs.

Ingredients: rice - 1 mt water - 2 mt (for a pressure cooker 1.5 mt) salt 1/2 tsp. eggs - how much is needed for the salad and how much will fit in the frying basket or in the upper steamer.

It's very simple, boil rice and eggs together. Rice/Grains program 35 minutes. Countdown immediately after the start. For the pressure cooker, I have the same time, because the countdown in my pressure cooker (Orson 5005) begins immediately after the start. Pressure 3.

Steam-boiled eggs will never leak, although they may crack. For example, I cooked it another time

SALAD WITH CRAB STICKS AND BELL PEPPERS. Ingredients for the salad: Boiled rice from 1 cup of raw Hard-boiled eggs 5-8 pcs Crab sticks or crab meat - 200 g Bell pepper or fresh cucumber - both can be used Sweet corn - 1 can (drain the liquid) Instead of sweet corn, you can have green peas Greens - dill, parsley (I only have dill this time) Onions - I have green, you can turnip, you can have red Mayonnaise You can add pepper I didn’t add salt - the rice is salty, for the rest there is enough salt from mayonnaise. But you can add salt to your taste.

While the rice and eggs are cooking and then cooling, chop all the other ingredients. Add rice and eggs to the salad only when completely cooled.

Method one - absorption

For a salad with crab sticks, it is optimal to use long-grain rice. It contains less starchy substances, retains its shape perfectly during cooking and mixes evenly.

Algorithm for cooking long grain rice:

1. In a saucepan with water you need to place long-grain washed rice in a ratio of 2 to 1. That is, you will need 2 parts of water, and 1 part of cereals. 2. Turn on the stove and cook the contents without a lid until boiling over high heat. 3. After the liquid boils, you must turn the heating toggle switch to the minimum value. 4. Cover the pan with a lid.

After 15 minutes of cooking over low heat, the cereal will completely absorb the liquid. By the way, while the rice is cooking, you can treat yourself to a cup of aromatic tea. Buying pu-erh in Krasnoyarsk is not a problem, but if you live in another city, you can order it in an online Chinese tea store.

Important! There is no need to lift the lid frequently while simmering rice. This will cause saturated steam to escape from the pan, and the rice may turn out dry and undercooked.

Turn off the heat, place a clean cloth or fresh kitchen towel over the pan, and close the lid tightly on top. The rice grains will reach a state of readiness, and excess moisture will be absorbed by the material. The absorption method retains maximum nutrients in rice.
