Pilaf, rice porridge, rice with vegetables and chicken are some of the most popular and favorite dishes. Their basis is rice cereal, which can be cooked and mixed with other products. However, not many people know that rice can not only be boiled, but also fried. Read more about how to quickly and correctly cook rice in a frying pan in our material.
Fried rice is a tasty, but little popular and poorly known dish. At the same time, this cooking method makes the cereal more crumbly and adds interesting flavor notes to it. This dish will go well with meat or fish, and will also become a complete independent lunch that can be prepared in just 15-30 minutes. One of the most important aspects of cooking fried rice is choosing the right pan. It should be quite deep and have thick walls. To prepare the dish you will need the following ingredients:
First of all, you need to wash, dry, peel and cut the onions and carrots into thin strips. Then you should heat a frying pan with oil (you can use sunflower, olive or any other vegetable oil or even butter for frying). Vegetables must be cooked until half cooked by stewing in the selected frying pan. You should also add your chosen spices to this mixture.
The next stage is preparing the cereal. It must be thoroughly washed and cleaned of impurities. Moreover, you should rinse the rice until the water you drain becomes clear (usually 6-7 times). Then you need to let the rice sit so that all the excess liquid drips off.
For faster cooking, many cooks and housewives also recommend steaming rice. To do this, you can pour boiling water over it or spray it with steam. However, this step is optional and can be skipped.
In addition, some stores and supermarkets sell already steamed rice (its grains are usually yellow). To save effort and time, you can purchase such cereals. We return to the vegetables stewed in a frying pan. You need to add dried rice to them and mix the resulting mixture. Next, add purified hot water to the pan - you need to add enough liquid to cover the mixture of cereals and vegetables.
After this, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the dish over low heat. Typically the liquid evaporates within 15 minutes. However, depending on the power of your oven, this process may take about half an hour. When the rice is browned, you need to mix it thoroughly and taste it (you may need to add additional spices). The dish is ready. If you follow this recipe step by step, anyone can make a delicious lunch.
This cereal is a quite healthy and nutritious product. So, it contains a large amount of amino acids and vitamins, as well as useful microelements such as potassium, phosphorus, zinc, etc. It is believed that this cereal helps remove toxins and other harmful elements from the body.
As you know, there are many types and types of rice (brown, black, small- and coarse-grained, etc.). Depending on what type of product you use, the cooking time may vary. In addition, the cooking speed is affected by the power of kitchen appliances.
