Rice Ingredients- 1/2 cup Five-Color Fermented Rice
- 1 1/2 cups White Rice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the rice by mixing the five-color rice and white rice in a 1:3 ratio (1/2 cup five-color rice, 1 1/2 cups white rice). Place the mixed rice in a bowl and gently rinse it with water until the water runs clear. Be careful not to scrub too vigorously, as this can damage the beneficial nutrients in the rice.
Step 2
Now, let’s adjust the water level for cooking. Because the five-color rice has a slightly sticky texture, similar to glutinous rice, you’ll need slightly more water than you would for regular rice to achieve a perfectly chewy and delicious result. To ensure your cooked rice is moist and has a pleasant chewiness, aim for a water-to-rice ratio of about 1:1.1 to 1:1.2. (For example, if you have a total of 2 cups of rice, use 2.2 to 2.4 cups of water.)
Step 3
Add the prepared rice and water to your rice cooker and select the ‘cook’ setting. Once the cooking cycle is complete, use a rice paddle to gently fluff and mix the rice in the cooker. This ensures that the moisture is evenly distributed among the grains, resulting in a wonderfully glossy and flavorful five-color rice. Enjoy your mealtime enhanced by the beautiful, multi-hued rice!
