Benefits of blanched rice
Blanched rice has very good nutritional qualities and the grains don't stick together. It is not cooked quicker than ordinary rice. Its preparation takes a little longer, but it is still more healthy than ordinary rice.
In the process of blanching rice, the vitamins and minerals contained in the rice husk go to the grains.
Preparation of blanched rice
Usually, rice that is blanched is boiled for about 20 minutes. Its method of preparation is no different from that of ordinary rice.
A cup of blanched rice is placed in 2 cups of boiling water with a pinch of salt. Then you have to put a lid on the pot in which you will boil the rice and reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
You need to monitor the time in which the rice is cooked, from the time when the water starts to boil.
If you want to halve the cooking time of blanched rice, you need to soak it in warm water for about 30 minutes.
If the blanched rice is ready, it should be fluffy. Even if it is overcooked, the grains remain whole.
Blanched rice is ideal for main rice dishes and side dishes.
