Sān gǔ, Zhèng wèi, Wū zhàn → Fluff first, then steam for 20 minutes. ※ After cooking, remember not to let condensation from the lid drip back into the pot. You can also try covering the pot with a cloth to absorb moisture. ※ Rice kept warm for too long tends to dehydrate and become dry and hard when cooled. If you plan to eat it at a later meal, pay attention to the warming environment. ※ After cooking, try the texture and adjust the water amount or soaking time next time to cook a pot of rice that suits your taste. ※ When cooking with an electric cooker, place a steamer rack inside to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom due to uneven heating. ※ For cooking mixed grains, pre-soaking for 2 hours or more will result in more distinct, delicious grains. **【Storage】** White rice and brown rice degrade due to lack of protection. ※ Chemical changes: Protein, lipids, carbohydrates, enzymes. ※ Physical changes: Moisture loss, yellowing, water absorption, volatile sulfides. ※ Nutritional loss: Protein loss. Proliferation of microorganisms, mold, aflatoxins, and anaerobic bacteria. Rice is not a dried good; the shelf life is for reference only. Eating it quickly is best for you. Refrigeration is the only other option. https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2880/33469063083_ba88ae9b4a_b.jpg **【Our Commitment】** || Origin sourcing and taste testing.
