I was looking on the website for a recipe for fluffy rice as a side dish and found this wonderful recipe. True, I don’t have a steamer, but I do have a slow cooker. An attempt is not torture, as they say, I decided to see what happens) I poured water into the multicooker bowl, installed a steam grate on top and placed a square container with rice in it. Pre-soak the rice for an hour. After this procedure, the rice became a little whiter and seemed rougher. I poured 200 ml into the container along with the rice. water. Cooked for 30 minutes. And everything worked out great! Now I will cook fluffy rice in a steamer according to this recipe. It takes a minimum of time, you don’t need to monitor the rice, and the result is grain-to-grain grain!
