How to Cook Delicious Rice Without Old Rice Smell (Serves 4)- 500mL water for 4 cups of rice (Water:Rice ratio 1:1)
- 1 cup milk (for 4 cups of rice)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Reviving the taste of old rice: When cooking rice, use the usual amount of water, but add 1 cup of milk for every 4 cups of rice. This simple addition helps eliminate the musty smell often associated with older rice and results in a much softer, more subtly sweet, and delicious bowl of rice.
Step 2
Rice cooked with milk develops a beautiful, glossy sheen, making it even more appealing.
Step 3
2. Making cold rice taste like fresh rice: Place leftover cold rice in a microwave-safe bowl. Add one ice cube to the bowl, then microwave for about 2 minutes. This trick will surprisingly transform your cold rice, making it moist and delicious, just like freshly cooked rice.
Step 4
3. The ultimate method for cooking old rice without any odor: If you find yourself needing to cook with old rice and are concerned about the smell, try this method. Before cooking, soak the rice in water with a single drop of vinegar for a short while, then rinse it thoroughly. After this, rinse the rice one more time with lukewarm water. This two-step rinsing process will effectively neutralize both the old rice smell and any residual vinegar scent. Additionally, for a softer texture and a glossy finish, mix a pinch of salt and a small amount of cooking oil into the rice before you start cooking. Your old rice will taste so good, you might forget it was old!
