1121 Short Grain Rice is a distinctive variety known for its slightly sticky texture, making it the ideal choice for recipes that require rice to hold together. Its tender, moist grains cook up perfectly, offering a consistency that is perfect for dishes like sushi, rice puddings, and other desserts or savory recipes where a sticky texture is desired. The rice's slightly sticky nature allows it to clump together, making it easy to shape and mold, which is essential for sushi and similar dishes. The soft texture and delicate flavor also make it a great option for sweet dishes like rice pudding, where the rice absorbs the sweetness of the sauce while maintaining its signature stickiness. 1121 Short Grain Rice brings versatility to your kitchen, adding the perfect texture to a variety of dishes that require a cohesive and tender rice base.
For perfect 1121 Short Grain Rice, follow these simple steps:
o Rinse: Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water to remove any excess starch. This helps prevent over-stickiness and ensures the rice cooks evenly.
o Cook: Use a 1:1.5 rice-to-water ratio. For every cup of rice, add 1.5 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
o Simmer: Let the rice simmer for about 10-12 minutes until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
o Rest and Fluff: Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains slightly while maintaining its cohesive texture.
