Healthy and Delicious Purple Rice Brown Rice
1.
The ratio of rice is very important, I choose ②, the meal for 4 people. Weifeng purple rice is brown rice. Because it has a hard coat, it must be soaked first to allow the rice grains to absorb enough water in advance, so that the cooked rice will be fuller and more glutinous. Suggestion: ①The ratio of 1:7 (1 part of Meiwei purple rice, 7 parts of white rice) Meiwei purple rice is not soaked, and the taste is chewy. ②The ratio of 1:5 (1 part of Meiwei purple rice, 5 parts of white rice) is soaked for 2-4 hours, and the taste is moderately soft and hard. ③The ratio of 1:3 (1 part of Meiwei purple rice, 3 parts of white rice) Meiwei purple rice soaked for 5-7 hours, the taste is soft and waxy.

The water for washing rice must be washed with cold water, warm water or hot water, which will cause a serious loss of nutrients in the rice, especially brown rice with nutrient pigments. The rice skin of Weifeng Purple Rice is rich in anthocyanins, which are easily soluble in water. When washing with cold water, the method should be gentle and not rubbed, otherwise the nutrient pigments will be washed away! [Note: The anthocyanins, which are soluble in water like "fading" and various nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, are in the rice water, a drop should not be wasted, and it should be used as cooking water! 】

It is necessary to add a little more water when cooking brown rice and coarse grain rice. The thick skin is very "draft". I always "swipe a finger or half of my palm" and add a little more water. I love the chewy texture, and the chewy ones can reduce the amount of water by 10%. Like old people and children who like rice that is sweet, waxy, soft and rotten, it can have 20% more water.

The taste of purple rice and brown rice is moderate. In addition to water, the choice of rice cooker is also very important. My home has a good sealing performance and less gas.
5.
The most taboo after cooking the rice is to open the lid as soon as it is cooked. Bake the rice for 10 minutes to make the rice taste better!
Tips:
Purple rice, brown rice or other coarse grain rice will have its own unique fragrance. If you want a richer layer, you can add some white sesame, sesame oil and salt to mix well. A bowl of rice in the morning is enough for breakfast!
