Attention rice enthusiasts! Here’s a delicious way to cook Rinse Free rice, as introduced by a rice Meister.

Point 1:

Rice cooker
with a “Japanese rice mode”

The performance of your rice cooker significantly influences the taste of rice.When cooking Japanese rice, it’s ideal to use a rice cooker equipped with a designated mode for Japanese rice.For those who are particular about the taste of rice, please use a rice cooker specifically designed for Japanese rice.

An ultimate way to cook delicious rice using the
“Quick Cook mode”

1Measure the rice accurately

Measure the exact amount of rice using a kitchen scale.

2Rinse the rice briefly

Prepare soft water with a hardness of 50 degrees or less. Add water in the bowl containing the rice, quickly stir and drain the water. The rice most absorbs the water it first comes into contact. The key is to rinse quicky, before it absorbs the washed out dirt. For no-wash rice, a quick rinse is all you need.

3Add the exact amount of water

Add water so that the total of rice and water is 2.4 times the amount of rice
For example: If you are cooking 150 g of rice
Rice 150 g x 2.4 = 360 g
Add water until the total reaches 360 g.

4Let it soak in the
refrigerator
for 60 minutes

Allow the rice 60 minutes to slowly absorb water in the refrigerator, for a fluffy and glossy finish when cooked.

5Even out the rice and water

To prevent unevenness when cooked, ensure that the rice and water are distributed as evenly as possible.

6Cook with the “Quick Cook
mode”

When you press a grain with your fingers and it crumbles easily, that’s a sign that the rice has absorbed enough water. For rice that has been soaked, the key is to use the “Quick Cook mode” on your rice cooker.

7Mix immediately after
cooking

Once the rice is cooked, open the lid immediately. Using a rice paddle, gently mix the rice by flipping it from the bottom, making sure not to crush the grains and incorporating air as you do so. This process helps evaporate any excess moisture, resulting in rice with a better texture.

8Let it sit for 10 minutes
to steam

After mixing, close the lid and let it sit for 10 minutes to steam.This process allows the steam from when the rice was cooked to turn into water, making rice fluffy as the grains absorb the moisture. This also makes the surface of rice glutinous and sticky.

Adding ice before cooking enhances the taste of Japanese rice. Ice gives more time for the water temperature to rise, allowing the rice to be cooked more slowly. During this process, starch is reliably converted into sugars, resulting in delicious rice rich in sweetness.

Add ice

For 150g of rice, add between 50g to 100g of ice.

Adjust the water amount

Reduce the water by the amount of ice added. If you add 50g of ice, please reduce by 50g of water.After that, start cooking the rice using your preferred method mentioned above.
