RationizedInsanity🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇸<p>I have figured out a surefire way to get amazing, not mushy rice 100% of the time without a rice cooker.</p><p>I despise mushy rice, yet absolutely love firm rice. I sucked at making it until now!</p><p>Using basmati rice:</p><p>-Rinse dry rice<br>-Have a ratio of just over 1.5 to 1 water to rice<br>-Add a pinch of salt, just barely enough to taste<br>-Combine rice, water, and salt with 2 teaspoons of unsaturated oil<br>-Rapid boil 4 minutes <br>-Cover, barely simmer 20 min<br>-Don't stir after start</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cooking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a></p>

Denis 🌏<p>hey, people who are more adept at reading recipes than I... does she mean dried lentils in this recipe? I think so?</p><p>Since there's a cup of broth and you're supposed to bring to boil and then simmer for 25 mins, I assume dried is right...</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cooking</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/recipes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>recipes</span></a></p>
