Place a bowl of cold water on the hard rice
If you accidentally cook rice that is hard or sticky, you can immediately place a bowl of cold water and press it down so that the mouth of the bowl is level with the surface of the rice. This method will help you save the rice pot without having to throw it away.
How to do it: First, when your rice is sticky, immediately place a bowl of cold water and press it down so that the mouth of the bowl is level with the surface of the rice. Cover the pot and let it sit. If you are using an electric rice cooker, you don’t need to turn on the “cook” button, just leave it on the “warm” mode for 2 minutes. If you are cooking rice on a regular stove, leave the heat low for 2 minutes, then remove the bowl of water from the pot.
That’s how simple it is to rescue your rice pot from stickiness and make it delicious again!
