Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook fluffy rice in a double boiler? Prepare the necessary products. To ensure that your rice turns out fluffy, it is better to use a long-grain variety. Sort it well to get rid of dark grains.

Step 2
After this, rinse the rice with cold water, removing dust and dirt.

Step 3

Step 3
Next, transfer the rice into a deep container and fill it with clean cold water. Leave the rice in the water for 1 hour. During this time, it will absorb moisture and swell a little, making it easier for it to be saturated with steam during the cooking process.

Step 4

Step 4
After an hour, drain the remaining water and transfer the rice to a special steamer bowl.

Pour water into the steamer (the volume of water depends on the model of your steamer and the volume of the water tank). Also pour water (200 ml) into the container with rice. Place the bowl of rice in the steamer. If the steamer is multi-tiered, then place the tray with rice at the very bottom. Close the steamer with a lid. Set the timer for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Step 6
After half an hour, when the steamer beeps, open the lid, stir the rice with a spoon, separating the rice grains. Then close the steamer again and set the timer for another 10 minutes. After this time, the rice will be ready.

Place the finished rice in portions on plates, serving with fish, meat, chicken and your favorite vegetables or salad. Bon appetit!
