Frying rice before cooking is a culinary trick that can significantly improve the taste of the finished dish. This simple but effective method helps make rice more aromatic and crumbly.
This is reported by URA-Inform.
Frying rice before cooking activates the natural oils in the grains. This process gives the rice a nutty flavor and enhances its aroma. Frying also helps maintain the grains' shape, preventing them from sticking together during cooking.
You can fry the rice in a dry frying pan or with a little oil. The main thing is to remember to stir constantly so that the rice is evenly fried and does not burn. The process takes only a few minutes, after which you can add water and cook the rice as usual.
This method is suitable for different types of dishes, be it pilaf, risotto or just a side dish. Fried rice before cooking is not only tastier, but also has a more pleasant texture. If you want to surprise your loved ones with delicious and aromatic rice, be sure to try this cooking method.
