How to Fluff Rice

Fluffing rice is a great way to avoid the grains from sticking to each other and going gluggy. To make perfectly fluffy rice, simply leave the rice to rest for…

i definitely don't do that lol. every day you learn something new

yes!

In my culture rice grain sticking together means its either not a good rice or wasnt cooked well

We top the rice usually with zafran and barberry

what the fluff?

also if I wanted to be fancy, eggs, sausage, sweet potat, yams. mostly just plain so I can make friend rice when I don't finish the rice.

I have no idea what that even is, or is that an Asian thing to do?

In my culture you cook stuff till its not more raw and than eat it ... only restaurants have time and patience to do all those unnessesary extra steps so I'm not even trying because who the F comes home and puts 30 minutes work on a food that cooks in 10 ?

I think this thread would fit in the food and cooking category haha

when I make rice it just comes out fluffy..

I learned this from my born and raised in Korea mother. We use a rice cooker. When the cooking is done, we open up the lid and use a rice paddle or fork to gently mix up the rice and then close the lid and let it rest for several minutes before serving. This basically makes the rice fluffier and less clumpy and you also dont have the crust on the bottom.

But the crust on the bottom is the best part!!

(recently however I've been going the opposite way lmao I mix eggs with water and use that to cook the rice, and it comes out in rice bricks that I can wrap up in foil and cut with a knife haha)

Do you do that to meal prep?

no, I just dislike dishes.

Thank you for the explanation and yes I do it but I had no idea this act had any name lol I just don't like my rice clumpy and found that it worked by trial and error.

Also, do you put anything in it when cooking it?

mostly garlic, salt and onion, but I can put whatever I think it fits. We mix rice with many stuff in my culture.

Shrimps, meat, herbs, seasoning, cheese, grapes... It all depends of how elaborated you want your rice to be.
