  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to cook crumbly rice for garnish in a slow cooker? Prepare the products. I buy Chinese rice. But with the same success, you can use any other rice — both long-grain and round.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Rinse rice under running cold water at least seven to eight times. The water should become absolutely transparent. In this simple way, starch is washed out of rice, which just glues the rice together during cooking.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Put the rice in the bowl of a slow cooker, pour BOILING WATER over it, add salt and oil. Mix it up. It is important to use boiling water, this is also an important condition for the rice to turn crumbly.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Cook rice in a suitable mode (I have a multi-cooker, 100 degrees, 20 minutes). In different slow cookers, the name of the mode and the cooking time may differ, look at your model (read the instructions for your technique). After the signal, open the lid, stir the cereal, close the appliance again and leave it on the heat for half an hour. If there is no such mode, then just hold the rice under a closed lid.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Serve the rice with soy sauce as an independent dish or as a side dish. Bon appetit!

Important! To make rice dishes invariably delicious, read the article about the subtleties of choosing rice and the secrets of its preparation .

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique. 

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
