Perfect Parboiled Rice in Rice Cooker Every Time
Learn how to cook perfect parboiled rice in a rice cooker every time. With the proper water ratio and simple steps, you can enjoy fluffy, non-sticky rice. It's a game-changer for meals!
Equipment
- 1 Rice Cooker
- 1 Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup Parboiled Rice
- 1.5 cups Water
- Pinch of Salt (Optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the Rice: Give your parboiled rice a quick rinse under cool water to remove dust and starch. It only takes a minute, but it makes a huge difference in getting fluffy rice.
- Add Rice and Water: Add 1.5 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice for the perfect balance. This ensures your rice cooks evenly. Want it softer? Just use a bit more water.
- Set the Cooker: Close the lid and set your cooker to the white rice setting (or the standard cook cycle if there's no specific setting). Let the cooker handle the rest.
- Fluff and Serve: Once done, open the lid and fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains. You'll have perfect, fluffy rice every time.
Notes
For Softer Rice:
Adjust the water to 2 parts to 1 part rice for a softer texture.
Water Ratios:
Parboiled rice needs less water than brown rice but more than white rice—stick to the 1:1.5 ratio for the best results.
Storage:
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. To reheat, add a splash of water and microwave!
