How to Cook Organic Red Cargo Rice 1kg

Cooking Organic Red Cargo Rice 1kg is simple, but it requires a bit more water and time than white rice due to its bran layer. Here’s how you can cook it perfectly:

Stovetop Method:

1. Rinse the Rice: Place the rice in a fine mesh sieve and rinse it under cold water to remove excess starch. This helps the rice cook more evenly and prevents it from becoming sticky.
   
2. Boil Water: For 1 cup of rice, use 2.5 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil in a medium-sized pot.
   
3. Add Rice and Simmer: Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water and stir once to distribute it evenly. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 35-40 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
   
4. Let it Rest: Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the rice steam and become fluffier.
   
5. Fluff and Serve: Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Your Organic Red Cargo Rice is now ready to accompany any meal.
   

Rice Cooker Method:

1. Rinse the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove any excess starch.
   
2. Add Rice and Water: For 1 cup of rice, add 2.5 cups of water to the rice cooker.
   
3. Cook the Rice: Start the rice cooker and let it cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The rice will be ready when the cooker signals that it’s done.
   
4. Let it Sit: After cooking, let the rice sit in the rice cooker for about 5 minutes before opening the lid. Fluff the rice with a fork.
   

Microwave Method:

1. Rinse the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
   
2. Add Rice and Water: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of rice with 2.5 cups of water.
   
3. Cover and Microwave: Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap and microwave on high for about 20 minutes.
   
4. Let it Rest: Let the rice sit for 5 minutes after microwaving. Fluff it with a fork before serving.
