Cooking Calrose Rice

Calrose rice is a short-grain rice that is popular in Asian dishes. It is known for its sticky texture and sweet flavor. The following recipe will show you how to cook Calrose rice and achieve the perfect consistency every time.

Ingredients

– 1 cup of Calrose rice
– 2 cups of water or broth
– 1 tablespoon of butter or oil (optional)

Instructions

1. Rinse the rice: Place the rice in a sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This will remove any dirt and debris from the rice and help to prevent it from clumping when cooked.

2. Soak the rice: Place the rinsed rice in a bowl and cover with water. Let the rice soak for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours. This will help to soften the grains and make them more tender when cooked.

3. Drain the rice: Once the rice has finished soaking, drain it in a sieve. Discard any water that was used for soaking.

4. Cook the rice: Place the rice in a pot with 2 cups of water or broth. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed.

5. Fluff the rice: Remove the pot from the heat and let the rice sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains. If desired, add a tablespoon of butter or oil for flavor and to help prevent sticking.
