The Ultimate Rice Trick: One Pot, Two Delicious Rice Dishes
If you're struggling to cater to the diverse taste preferences of your family members when it comes to rice texture, follow this simple tip from Bach Hoa XANH for surprising results.
In large families, it’s unlikely that everyone will have the exact same preferences when it comes to rice texture. Some may prefer their rice dry, while others might like it a little on the softer side, and then there are those who specifically favor mushy rice (especially the elderly). To cater to these diverse tastes, you don’t need to cook multiple pots of rice. The following trick will show you how to cook one pot of rice and end up with two types of rice textures to satisfy everyone’s preferences.

Instructions
Step 1: Rinse the rice until it’s clean, and then add it to the pot. Pour in the usual amount of water (depending on the amount of rice).
Step 2: Use the wooden spatula to push the rice to one side of the pot, creating a side with more rice and a side with less rice. Be careful not to overdo it, as the side with more rice might not cook properly.
Step 3: Gently press down on the rice on the fuller side with the spatula, and fluff the rice on the less full side to ensure even cooking.
When the rice is cooked, you’ll be amazed to find that one side of the pot has dry rice, while the other has softer rice. The middle portion of the rice will be just right for those who don’t like their rice too dry or too mushy.
