β’Rinse the Adlai Rice: Place the Adlai rice in a fine-mesh sieve or colander and rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove any debris or excess starch.
β’Preparation: In a saucepan or pot, combine 1 cup of Adlai rice with 2 cups of water or broth. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
β’Boiling: Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
β’Simmering: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Allow the Adlai rice to simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender. You might need to adjust the cooking time based on your desired texture (some prefer it more al dente).
β’Resting: After cooking, let the Adlai rice sit covered for about 5 minutes to absorb any remaining moisture and fluff up.
β’Fluff and Serve: Finally, fluff the Adlai rice with a fork to separate the grains and release excess steam. Serve it as a side dish or as a base for various recipes.
