How to cook fluffy rice in a pot and frying pan: tips and tricks. Exclusive

Food blogger Anastasiia Solopii shared the rules and tricks of cooking perfect rice.

In an exclusive commentary for OBOZREVATEL, the expert told us how to successfully combine this cereal in a dish.

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.

Basic rules for cooking rice in a frying pan:

• First, fry the rice in olive oil for a few minutes.
• 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.

Rice is a versatile porridge that goes well with vegetables, salads, seafood, and fish.
