Can undercooked rice be cooked with water

Jiasheng rice can be re cooked with water, but its taste and nutrition may be affected. Rice undercooked is usually related to insufficient water, improper heat, or an imbalance in the ratio of rice to water.

Segregation is mainly caused by insufficient gelatinization of starch. Adding water and continuing to heat can cause the starch to absorb water and expand again. When using an electric rice cooker, press the cooking button to heat it up again. If using an open flame, keep the heat low and frequently flip it to avoid burning the bottom. The appropriate amount of water should be just enough to submerge the surface of the rice. Too much water can cause it to become too soft, while too little water may prevent it from being fully cooked. The additional cooking time is about 5-10 minutes. Cook until the water is dry and let it simmer for 5 minutes for better results. Some special types of rice, such as brown rice and glutinous rice, are more prone to undercooking due to their dense structure, and need to be soaked for a longer period of time before being re cooked. Overnight refrigerated undercooked rice requires an increase of 20% water content during reheating due to starch aging. If the rice has been stored for more than 4 hours or has an unpleasant odor, it is not recommended to consume it again. Repeated heating can damage B vitamins, and long-term consumption of undercooked rice may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

It is recommended to soak rice for 20 minutes in advance for daily cooking, and the rice water ratio should be precisely controlled at 1:1.2. By using the smart rice cooker, the corresponding rice variety program can be selected to avoid frequent lid opening during cooking. Eating vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C can compensate for the nutritional loss caused by repeated heating. Discovering strangulation should be dealt with in a timely manner to avoid bacterial growth that may affect health.
