Never knew that—how cool

How to Do It: The Quick Guide

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice (white, basmati, jasmine, or brown)
• Cold water

Steps:

1. Place rice in a bowl and cover with cold water.
2. Swirl the rice around gently with your hand to rinse off starch. Drain the water.
3. Repeat this rinsing process 2-3 times until the water runs mostly clear.
4. Fill the bowl again with fresh cold water and soak the rice for 20 minutes.
5. Drain the rice and cook it as usual—whether boiling, steaming, or using a rice cooker.

The Result? Seriously Fluffy Rice Every Time

No more sticky clumps. No more mushy mess. Just perfectly cooked, fluffy rice that’s the ideal base for stir-fries, curries, or even rice bowls.

Bonus Tip: Try This With Quinoa Too!

Cold water rinsing and soaking works wonders with quinoa as well. It removes that natural bitterness and improves texture.
