Have you wondered how to make Fluffy White Rice without standing in front of the stove watching for the rice not to boil over or get burned? Well, as Confucius said, "To prepare a good work, one must first sharpen his tools (工預善其事，必先利其器)." Tatung rice cooker is the tool to make the best, soft and fluffy white rice!
Rice is a staple in Asian households and this soft and fluffy white rice is so easy to make. Serve it with Sweet and Sour Chicken or any other amazing recipes.
Ingredients
- long grain rice
- or, short grain rice
The rice in the top bowl is long grain rice. Almost all the restaurants in North America serve long grain rice. I grew up having short grain rice (in the bottom bowl) and to this date, I still prefer short grain rice. As shown in the photo above, short grain rice is shorter and rounder. After it's cooked, it is softer and tends to stick together more than the long grain rice.
See recipe card for quantities.
