| The reasons | How to avoid |
Bad rice | Observe storage conditions. Good quality rice in cold water will sink to the bottom |
Strong fire | Rice doesn't like heat |
Incorrect proportions | For 1 container of rice 2 containers of water |
Incorrect cooking time | Overcooked rice sticks together even in pilaf. For salad, sushi and for a side dish - 15-20 minutes, for pilaf, porridge - less (then it still "reaches") |
