Fluffy White Rice in the Thermomix
I never thought I'd make rice with the Thermomix, but this 'recipe' I'm sharing today is ideal for a side-dish rice: it turns out very well and you don't have to worry about anything, since quantities, time and temperature are all controlled.
The point of putting this recipe on the blog is to have it at hand (quantities, speeds, temperature), which is more or less the founding purpose of our blog.
- 50 g olive oil
- 800 g water
- 350 g rice
- A little salt, to taste
Remember that for this we use the Thermomix simmering basket.
Add the oil, water and salt and mix briefly, for example 5 seconds at speed 6.
Put the basket inside the Thermomix bowl and bring the water to the boil, programming about 7 minutes, Varoma, speed 4.
Pour the rice into the basket (you can do this through the lid opening without opening the Thermomix) and program 13 minutes, Varoma, speed 4. From time to time, stir the rice a little with the spatula. Taste it, and if it's still hard, give it 2 more minutes.
The idea, the concept, is that the rice cooks inside the Thermomix basket, and since the water moves quite fast (speed 4), it flows in and out through the little holes, continuously rinsing the rice and making it very loose: a lot of the starch stays in the water.
This rice can be the base for another dish, or simply a side for a magnificent chicken and coconut milk wok.
