Blue Rice

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Pour boiling water over blue tea (clitoris flowers), let it boil for 5-7 minutes, let it brew. It is better to cook the broth the day before, leaving it overnight.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour the rice on a sieve, rinse with warm water. Washing on a sieve will eliminate small chips and particles that can make rice more sticky.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the washed rice in a bowl of a slow cooker, pour boiling water for 10-15 minutes, cover with a plate. Set aside.

5. Step 4:

   

   Put the rice back on the sieve and rinse with cool water, leave on the sieve and let the water drain completely for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, strain the decoction with the flowers of the clitoris through a strainer, squeeze out the flowers. They can be reused, then the rice will not be rich blue, but sky blue. It is better not to leave the flowers when cooking, they will make the rice more sticky, the flowers themselves are not very pleasant to eat, but you can try. :)

6. Step 5:

   

   Return the rice to the bowl of the slow cooker. Pour the broth at the rate of 1 cup of rice (160 g) to 1.5 cups of broth (1350 g). Stir for even coloring. Let it stand for another 5 minutes . Mix the rice again and turn on the slow cooker.
