Arroz na panela elétrica

Ingredientes

• 1 cup jasmine rice or basmati rice
• 1 1/3 cup water

• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup brown or wild rice
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 tablespoon neutral oil such as vegetable or grapeseed oil

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   --- Directions for jasmine rice and basmati rice ---

2. 2

   Put the rice in a rice washing bowl or a fine mesh sieve, and rinse the rice under cold water. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear and drain well.

3. 3

   Place the rice in the slow cooker along with the water, oil, and salt.

4. 4

   Mix and cover with a lid.

5. 5

   Cook on low for 1 ½ to 2 hours. After 1 hour, open the lid and stir the rice.

6. 6

   When the cooking is done, check and see if there’s any water left and if the rice is tender. If it’s still crunchy, put the lid back on and cook for an additional 15-30 minutes. If it’s dry and crunchy, add a little more water (2-3 tablespoons) and cook for 15-30 minutes.

7. 7

   Open the lid and fluff the rice using wooden chopsticks. I don’t recommend using a metal fork since it may end up scratching the pot. Serve.

9. 9

   Put the rice in a rice washing bowl or a fine mesh sieve, and briefly rinse under cold water (3-4 swishes should do it). Drain and transfer the rice to the slow cooker.

10. 10

    Stir in the oil and salt and cover with a lid.

11. 11

    Cook on low for 2 ½ to 3 hours until the rice is tender.

12. 12

    If there is still water at the bottom of the rice cooker, put the lid back on and cook for an additional 15-30 minutes. If it’s dry and crunchy, add a little more water (about ⅓ cup of water) and cook for 20-30 minutes.

13. 13

    Open the lid, fluff the rice using wooden chopsticks, and serve.
