Combining rice in dishes
According to Anastasiia Solopii, perfectly cooked rice is characterized by its crumbly structure. This can be achieved by cooking the cereal both in a pot and a frying pan.
Basic rules for cooking rice in a saucepan:
- Before cooking, be sure to rinse the rice several times until the water becomes clear.
- Do not stir the porridge during the cooking process.
Otherwise, the grains of rice break, the starch begins to stand out from them and instead of good crumbly rice, you get sticky porridge.

- Pour water over the porridge and cook without stirring.

To emphasize the flavor of the rice, the food blogger recommends adding saffron to the dish. But if you don't have it at home, there is a cheaper analog – turmeric.
Turmeric gives rice a beautiful golden hue and a pleasant delicate flavor.
