The secret of perfectly cooked rice: use a non-stick lidded pan of the right size and toast the rice first with some chopped garlic. This simple method guarantees that you won’t be eating sad, mushy rice ever again! Serves: 2 - 3
Ingredients:
2 tbsp vegetable oil (or other neutral-flavoured oil)
2 - 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup (200g) basmati rice
2 cups (450ml) water
pinch of coarse sea salt
Method:
Heat the oil over medium high heat, swirling it to cover the bottom (for serving 2 - 3 people, use a 16cm diameter non-stick pan). When hot, reduce the heat to low, add the garlic, and fry for about half a minute before it starts to turn golden.
Add the rice (no need to rinse) and a pinch of salt. Stir well with a wooden spoon so that everything is well coated in oil. Sauté over high heat stirring all the time for about one minute or until the grains start to turn white and opaque.
Measure twice the amount of water to rice in the same container used to measure the rice, and pour into the pan. Stir once, making sure that no grains stay attached to the sides of the pan, and over high heat bring rice and water to a boil. From this point on, don’t stir the rice anymore! Turn down the heat to low and let the rice cook, uncovered, for about 4 minutes or just until the water has reduced and the first grains start to show on the surface. At this point, put the lid on, and let it cook a further 8 - 10 minutes. Do not take the lid off during this time.
After this time, turn the heat off, and let the pan rest with the lid on, for at least 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a wooden fork. Taste, and if necessary, stir in a bit of fine salt.

This works 💯🤝
That’s fantastic 👍👍well done, many thanks for watching 😃
Seemed easy enough, followed directions to a T. Rice turned out all mushy, not in the least bit fluffy.
So sorry to hear that 🙁 Any idea what could have gone wrong? It shouldn't turn out mushy at all 😞
Same here 😢
It depends of what kind of rice ur using too
I'm trying this tomorrow. I'll let you know
That's great, let me know if it worked out well 🤞
thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching 😊
I can't wait to try this...and then teach it to all the mushy rice-makers that I know!
Thank you so much for spreading the word, let us all free the world from sad, mushy rice once and for all!🤣😂
@@GreenRecipesForAll I'm testing your recipe this evening! I will report back 😊
This method got rid of the sticky mushy rice for me, but now my rice is coming out under cooked, i'm going to try it again but this time i'll simmer the rice for a full 10 minutes instead of 8, hopefully thay works
Hi, it's great that you could get a nice loose and fluffy rice, that's the most important part! You're right, if it ended up a bit undercooked, just cook the rice for a couple more minutes and it should come out fine. Indeed, the cooking time can vary considerably depending on the type of hob (stove) and the intensity/size of the burners. That's fine, don't worry so much about overcooking it, because as long as you use the correct water-to-rice ratio, most certainly it won't happen. Just make sure you start cooking the rice without the lid as I show in the video (this prevents the rice from absorbing too much water immediately). Then put the lid on as soon as you start seeing the grains showing on the surface and finish cooking with the lid on for 10 minutes (you can even give it a bit more, the fact that the water at this stage has virtually been all absorbed, prevents the rice from becoming mushy, also, sautéing the rice first has already given the necessary coating that prevents the rice from sticking together while it cooks). Letting the rice rest for a while after cooking is also important as it gives it time to finish cooking using only the steam inside the pan. Hope you get great rice next time, it's just a matter of practice 😊🤞All the best!
Just made this right now it really does work everyone.Give this lady a thumbs up 👍 no joke .Thank you🙌
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment, so glad this worked so well for you 😊 Tasty, fluffy rice is the best, right? 👍
@@GreenRecipesForAll yes...mam🤗
Is this possible for a Rice Cooker?
Do you cook the rice in the oil on the stove then move the pot in the cooker and let it cook?
I really don't know how it would turn out as I don't have a rice cooker.
Can you do this without the garlic? and does the garlic add any flavour or is it very subtle?
Good question! I don't think I've ever made this rice without garlic 😄 it's really nice with it, so I always add 2 or 3 garlic cloves (I love garlicky flavours!). In my opinion, the flavour it gives to the cooked rice is not very strong, it's just a hint of garlic, quite subtle actually, but that may also depend on the amount added. Of course, you could do the recipe without garlic and just sauté the rice in a bit of oil or if you're not a big fan of garlicky foods, you could only add a small clove, just to add a little bit of flavour. Hope this helps 😊 Thanks so much for watching!
This is exactly how my mum makes her rice!
😊 👍 Thanks so much for watching!
Ty so much! Mine always become sticky lol
You’re welcome, try this method and you won’t be disappointed, good luck 😉
She’s great for this
Take it off the electric burner or set to the side for final 5...Thanks
You're welcome 😊
Why don’t you wash the rice, is it optional? Thank you ( Edit: I read the comments below, what brand of basmati rice do you buy?) It looks very appealing in the video!
Hi, yes, I'd say washing the rice is optional. If you're used to, or prefer to wash the rice, I don't think it makes much difference in terms of the final result, because the rice is fried first (I've tried washing it first and I didn't see a great difference; it's just I never got into the habit of washing any type of rice). Frying the rice first is what actually makes it quite loose and non-sticky when cooked. To be honest, any basmati rice is fine, I've tried many different brands (some more expensive others less so) and I don't see that makes much of a difference in the final result (here in the UK, Tesco's or other supermarkets' own brands are quite good actually). Long-grain rice also works quite well with this technique, but basmati is still my favourite type of rice for making non-sticky rice because it has the ideal texture (sometimes I also make basmati & wild rice, which is very good for rice salads, the key is to follow this same method). Hope this helps, and many thanks for watching 😊
@@GreenRecipesForAll Thank you for the quick response! You earned a sub
Hello, I tried to do rice and put the lid on (using a somewhat similar method to yours) but my lid doesn't have a small hole for steam to get out and there was water draining down the pot. What can I do?
Hi, it's always better to have a lid with a hole so that steam can gradually escape and the rice doesn't overcooks or gets too soggy. And also as you say, without the hole the water will bubble up and end up spilling out of the pan. But you could still try using the lid you have. Maybe not attaching it completely to the pan, letting it slide a little to one side of the pan, so that some steam (not much though) can still escape and the water doesn't spill. I don't think it's ideal, because more water will evaporate much faster, which means the rice can end up undercooked. However, if you see the rice is still a bit under, and the water has already been absorbed, turn off the heat, attach the lid completely and let the rice rest for longer (I'd say about 15 - 18 mn); since your lid doesn't have the hole, the rice will actually continue to cook inside the pan, since more steam will accumulate inside and help this process. Your lid is actually good for this final phase of cooking the rice, because it seals the heat inside, working as an airtighed steamer. I'm not sure if this will work, but you could try. However, use the same method and water/rice ratio as in the video. Most of the time what actually makes the rice to be soggy and overcooked is using too much water. Turning off the heat and setting the rice aside with the lid on, allows the rice to finish cooking without affecting as much its texture. Hope this helps, let me know if it works 😊
I followed your advice and used a lid with a hole from a different bigger pot. Some water still drained but only a little. Other than that, i followed your recipe to a tee and the rice turned out amazing. Thank you so much!
@@Adrianasmth You're welcome! That's really great, so glad to know that it turned out so good, happy to help ☺
I thought rice always had to be rinsed? Thank you for sharing 😊
Many people ask this question about rinsing rice, and I guess that may depend on the reason why rice should be rinsed in the first place. If it's to have a good (non-sticky) result, then this method already guarantees that the rice will be free-flowing regardless of whether the rice is rinsed or not because in this case, it's sautéing the rice first what makes it non-sticky. However, if someone prefers to rinse their rice because they feel safer in doing so (this may depend on where the rice comes from, how it is packaged, local safety advice, family tradition, etc), that's totally fine because that will not have an impact on the final result of the dish when using this method (again, it's the toasting of the rice with oil & garlic that makes it tasty and fluffy). This question may also have to do with the type of rice you're using and the type of dish you're making. To make risotto, for example, you definitely wouldn't want to rinse the rice because carnaroli (or arborio) rice is quite starchy and that's what gives risotto its creaminess (you can find a recipe for risotto on my channel). The same goes for rice pudding and other similar dishes. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching 😊
If i use butter instead of oil would that make my rice smooth and not dry? I dont like dry rice lol
I’ve never used butter instead of oil to sauté the rice first, so I really don’t know how it would turn out, but maybe you could use it at the end; with risotto, I sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil first, add rice and fry a little more and then put the other ingredients and stock, at the end I add butter and cheese to give it a creamy consistency. If it’s something like that you looking for, maybe you could try add a little butter at the end, after the rice is cooked. Just an idea 🙂
@@GreenRecipesForAllyess! My mom always melts some butter and adds it at the end
Rice with garlic salt just as easy I. Ricecooker
Did you use long grain rice?
I've used basmati rice (my favourite 😀) but this method also works very well with long grain rice, I've made it a few times as well. Thanks for watching 💚
Is the water you added cold or hot?
It's cold water. Thanks so much for watching ☺
Is this with any kind of rice? I found that with Basmati rice it doesn't stick. But with any other rice it always sticks.
Yes, I always cook it with basmati rice, in my opinion, it gives the best results if you want a non-sticky texture, but long-grain rice also works pretty good. Thanks so much for watching 😊
What brand are of rice do u buy?
I usually buy the supermarket's own brand, not the cheapest but neither the most expensive brand. The beauty of this method is that the way you cook the rice is what makes it really good, so you don't have to buy a particular brand or buy the most expensive, but that's just my opinion, some people have their own preferred brands, and that's fine as well. My favourite rice is basmati because it doesn't stick at all; I've used different brands and don't see much difference in the final result, to be honest. The method also works very well with long-grain rice if you prefer that, but the texture is different from basmati (not so loose, but also good, it's a matter of personal preference). Hope that helps 😊 Thanks for watching!
Can you use extra virgin olive oil?
Maybe you can, although I have to say I haven't tried it. I've toasted the rice with olive oil before (in other recipes, where I add onion, garlic and tomato before the rice, for example), which I think is better for cooking. I only use extra virgin olive oil for seosoning, sauces and sometimes baking. For this method, I still prefer a more neutral flavour like vegetable or sunflower oil. Hope this helps, many thanks for watching 😃
Second time over come to this video to make rice lol
Why do people say prince it? Your rice look amazing
Thank you!
I know rinsing is a lie lol
I can't eat unwashed rice....can I still rinse it
Yes, you can rinse it and still follow this method, it should turn out just fine as well 🙂
Can onion and fish oil work?
You mean to use onion instead of garlic? I think that would work as well, I often make tomato rice in which onion, garlic and bay leaf are fried first, then add and fry the rice and chopped tomato for a while, a dash of white wine, and finally water (I might do a video of that recipe one day, it's really good!). Cooking with fish oil is something I'm not familiar with, but maybe you could try it. Thanks for watching 😀
@@GreenRecipesForAll did you end up making this recipe video? 😍
@@cassv5619 Not yet, but it certinly is on my list, it's a very popular Portuguese rice side dish, called 'arroz de tomate malandrinho' 🍚+ 🍅 = so yummy! It's made with paella type rice.
No rinsing?
Hi, I've been using this method for a long time, it works very well with basmati and long grain rice and no, I never rinse any rice, I really don't see the point when you're going to toast it first. Thanks so much for watching :)
Good question. Thanks for clarifying
you don't wash the rice firsT? but it's dirty no?
I think that's a moot question, it may depend on the type of rice you're cooking, your own preference (you may feel that washing it gives you extra peace of mind) or how the rice is processed and sold (these are just a few factors that I can think of). For example, if you're making risotto, you definitely don't want to wash that kind of rice (arborio or carnaroli) as it will affect the whole texture of the dish. In this case, though, my personal experience is that washing the rice first doesn't impact much on the final result, because it's the pre-toasting with a bit of oil (and garlic for extra flavour!) that gives the rice its looseness, if that is the result you're looking for. That said, if you're concerned about not washing the rice for the reason you mention or just because you prefer to do it that way, that's ok, maybe you could try this method anyway and see how it turns out. Hope this helps, many thanks for watching 😊
the oil is the key
Spot on, it makes all the difference when you want to make loose and fluffy rice 🙂
omg I'm so excited to try this, I have tried for yearrrrrs to make fluffy rice 🤣

it's perfect 🥰
Oh wow, so glad you're able to get your rice nice and fluffy, it's so easy right? Good bye weird, lousy rices of the world 🤣 Thanks so much for watching xx
Bro got the same pan as me wtf

How to cook fluffy rice with straining the water out
Instructions Unclear, with fire department now. What next?
You must use a towel for perfect rice
Wait so we're not supposed to wash our rice?...
I still do but I’ve noticed it doesn’t matter with the prep including cooking oil. The starches are rendered ineffective when cooked this way just as if you did rinse.
Always wash the rice.
Do not use the instructions on the packet. Use this video. Thank you so much. Finally rice not sticky
Amazing 🤩 Thanks so much for your comment, it's great to know the method worked for you, now you can enjoy great rice, every time 👍

It was soft. Where did I go wrong? 😢
Oh no! Sorry to hear that 😕 Do you mean it was sticky and mushy? overcooked? (I assume you used basmati or long grain rice, short grain rice varieties can get a bit sticky, jasmine as well) Rice may end up too soft when too much water is used. It's important to have a correct rice-to-water ratio. Did you put the lid on the pan too early? Some water should evaporate before putting the lid on otherwise the rice absorbs too much steam/water and can end up a bit mushy. Was the pan too small for the amount of rice you're making? This is important so that the rice cooks evenly and is not overcrowded inside the pan. It's also important to match the size of the pan to the size of the hob burner so that the heat is distributed evenly throughout the normal cooking time. I'm not sure what could have gone wrong, these are just a few things I consider, at first glance, can make a difference. I hope this helps, maybe give it another try🤞 Best of luck!
but sticky rice is best rice...
I like sticky rice, when done properly for sure, not by mistake 😆 Thanks so much for watching 💚
No need to rinse it?? I'm out ✌🏿
Hi, you can rinse the rice if you prefer to do so, that's not a problem as it will not affect the final result. Sautéing the rice first + using the correct rice/water ratio (and using a non-stick pan) is what ultimately contributes to achieving loose and fluffy non-sticky rice 😉
normally rinsing also removes starches doesnt it? wouldnt that make it stick less?
