Questions about Chinese restaurant steamed white rice
How do you make Chinese restaurant-style steamed white rice at home?
Rinse the rice until the water is nearly clear, then cook it with the water ratio suited to the rice and your pan or rice cooker. Leave it covered for 10 minutes after cooking, then fluff gently with a fork or rice paddle.
Why is steamed white rice from a Chinese restaurant sometimes sticky?
The rice may be a stickier-grained type, or it may have been rinsed less thoroughly before cooking. For separate grains at home, rinse well, avoid stirring while it cooks and let it rest covered before fluffing.
How should you store leftover Chinese restaurant rice?
Cool it quickly, ideally within an hour, and refrigerate it in a shallow, covered container. Use it within a day, and reheat it only once until steaming hot throughout.
Can you use leftover restaurant rice for egg fried rice?
Yes. Chilled rice is handy because the grains are firmer and less likely to clump; break up any lumps, then stir-fry it over high heat with egg, spring onions and your chosen vegetables or meat.
What dishes go well with Chinese restaurant steamed white rice?
Serve it alongside stir-fried vegetables, tofu, beef or chicken, or use it to soak up the sauce from dishes such as sweet and sour pork or mapo tofu. Its mild flavour works especially well with boldly seasoned sauces.
Does Chinese restaurant steamed white rice usually contain salt or oil?
Plain steamed rice is generally cooked with water and no added oil or salt, unlike fried rice. Restaurant methods vary, so ask how it is prepared if you need to know what has been added.
