Steamed White Rice


Rice is the staple food of the Javanese people.  On the Island of Java, there are many varieties of a grain of rice.  Long grains, short grains, white glutenous and black glutenous.  The people mainly cook steamed white rice for daily meal. 

How to cook the steamed rice, it is easy, for every cup of rice you need almost two cups of water.  Put a cup of rice in a pot, add nearly two cups of water.  Cook on medium heat, uncovered, bring to the boil, keep on cooking until all the water is almost absorbed.  Stir the rice, cover the pot and reduce the heat into very low, keep on cooking for eight minutes.  Fluff the rice then serve!

Accompaniments For Steamed White Rice




Steamed rice freezes well, I think it is a good idea if you like to do that.  What you need is only to cook the side dish to serve.  It is very suitable for young mothers or busy people who have no time to do a lot of preparation.


Enjoy cooking steamed rice the proper way.
