1. Best Time:

Suggested 15~20 minutes, adding a little fragrant rice while cooking will make the taste better. As for the amount of water, just put your finger in and feel that the depth of the rice is almost the same as the water; or press your whole hand down, and your hand should not be completely covered by water. The steaming utensils for rice are now also many, some people use an electric rice pot, some use an electric rice cooker, and some use a pressure cooker to steam rice, which will take very little time. So how long does it take to steam rice in a pressure cooker? Generally, simmer for 8 minutes. The height of water: the height of rice = 1:1.2, the water added after the rice is put into the pot should be a little higher than the height of the rice by one finger. At the beginning, the fire should be a little bigger because you need to boil the water in the pressure cooker, then you should turn the fire down a little, and it will take about seven or eight minutes!

The third great secret – the ratio of rice to water: The ratio of rice to water when steaming rice should be 1:1.2. There is a particularly simple way to measure the amount of water, just put your index finger into the rice water, as long as the water exceeds the first joint of your index finger over the rice, it is enough.
