Blue rice

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Pour boiling water over blue tea (clitoria flowers), let it boil for 5-7 minutes, let it brew. It is better to prepare the decoction the day before, leaving it overnight.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour the rice into a sieve and rinse with warm water. Rinsing on a sieve will remove small chips and particles that can make the rice more sticky.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the washed rice in the multicooker bowl, pour boiling water for 10-15 minutes, cover with a plate. Set aside.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the rice back on the sieve and rinse with cool water, leave on the sieve and let the water drain completely for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, strain the decoction of clitoria flowers through a strainer and squeeze out the flowers. They can be reused, then the rice will not be deep blue, but sky blue. It is better not to leave the flowers during cooking, they will make the rice more sticky, the flowers themselves are not very pleasant to eat, but you can try. :)

5. STEP 5

   

   Return the rice to the multicooker bowl. Pour the broth at the rate of 1 cup of rice (160 g) to 1.5 cups of broth (1350 g). Stir to ensure even coloring. Let stand for another 5 minutes. Stir the rice again and turn on the multicooker.

6. STEP 6

   

   A side dish of heavenly colored rice is ready to serve. Serve curry with meat and fish, with Korean carrots, and just sprinkle with Sriracha or soy sauce. Bon tasting!
