Three Simple Ways of Steaming Primera Rice

Steaming Rice – The easiest method

Steaming is the easiest method of cooking any rice as rice and water are all the ingredients needed. Especially in households where rice is a staple food, steaming is the most predominant cooking method of rice. Here is a comparison between three ways of steaming Primera, the low GI antioxidant rice:

Steaming Method I (Rice + Water)

Being the most common method, the required ingredients are just Primera and water. Steam a cup of Primera with two cups of water for 25 minutes. It produces a palatable plate of antioxidant rice with nutty flavor and slightly chewy taste. This method offers all the nutrients in the rice in the purest form as we use no other additional ingredients besides water. In terms of appearance, the rice looks slightly sticky.

Steaming Method II (Rice + Water + Salt)

The rice to water ratio of this cooking is as same as Method I. A cup of rice is steamed with two cups of water, but with addition of a pinch of salt. While retaining the nutty flavor, this method adds palatability of the rice due to the salt. Besides that, salt also controls antibacterial activity in the rice. Therefore, the rice last longer than Primera Rice from method I.

Steaming Method III (Rice + Water + Butter)

Again, the rice to water ratio is a cup of rice to two cups of water, but the additional ingredient here is a teaspoon of butter. After steaming for 25 minutes, the rice offers a unique blend of buttery and nutty taste. Although the fat in the butter adds to the flavor profile, bear in mind to not go too easy on the butter as too much of fat is not good for your heart.

Alternating is the key

Alternating between these three methods adds appeal to eating routine in households where Primera, the low GI antioxidant rice is a daily food.
