What I cooked today is coarse-grain rice "Lentil Rice", which is a coarse-grain rice based on lentils. This kind of lentils is a staple food. It is well documented here, because our Xinjiang bean noodles are based on it. The Lord made it. Lentils, the scientific name lentils, originated in southwest Asia and eastern Mediterranean. There are about 40 countries in the world that cultivate lentils, and Asia produces the most. Our country is mainly produced in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hebei, Henan, Yunnan and other provinces. Generally, lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking. Rinse it with cold water, and cook it slowly in water or broth, which is especially easy to cook. Lentils can provide protein and soluble fiber that can lower cholesterol. Its iron content is twice that of other legumes. Lentils are also high in vitamin B and folic acid. Folic acid is very important for women and can reduce fetuses. Deformity rate: The pigment in dark lentils has the effect of antioxidants, which can prevent heart disease and cancer, and anti-aging.

Lentil Rice

1. Ingredients: 2 cups of rice (350)
Accessories: 100 grams of lentils

2. Wash the rice and lentils, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to make the rice more fragrant

3. Pour the soaked rice and lentils into the Zhenmi Desugared Rice Cooker, and then add water. Note that because it is made of desugarized rice, the rice soup needs to be separated and the low-sugar rice is steamed, so the water used here is better than usual Ordinary rice cookers use a little more water for simmering rice, and the water surface should be less than 1 cm below the surface of the rice.

4. Close the lid of the rice cooker, turn on the power, and start the "rice" mode; the system default time is 22 minutes, which is considered a super fast rice cooker. If you want to increase or decrease the time, you can select the function, and add two minutes at most. Generally, the time is enough for the function, and it saves time and power, which is very suitable for office workers.

5. Zhenmi desugared rice cooker started working

6. When the time is up, the rice cooker will sound and the rice is ready; if you like to eat harder rice, you can serve it immediately, or keep it warm for about 15 minutes to make the rice more fragrant and soft. The grains of rice are distinct and chewy, which is just like a childhood taste. There are both rice and lentils, and the nutritious taste is more abundant. It's low in sugar and delicious.

7. Take out the rice soup box and see that half of the box is thick with rice soup. This is because the rice soup is completely separated from the rice, which takes away a lot of starch. The steamed rice is low in sugar and healthier.

8. The fragrant and delicious, well-defined rice has been de-sweetened, so you can eat it with confidence, and you don’t have to worry about getting fat if you eat too much. Especially suitable for people with diabetes and those who need to lose weight. If you have diabetes at home, you can use this kind of rice cooker, plus the soluble fiber of lentils that can lower cholesterol. No matter how you eat it, you won’t get fat or raise blood sugar. It’s really open to eat, no burden, don’t worry. Gain weight and blood sugar.

Tips:
1. The combination of rice and lentils can be added according to your own taste, which is more suitable for the family
