After washing the rice and pouring water into the rice cooker, add 2 to 3 ice cubes, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then plug it in and press the cook button.

Scientifically, ice will delay the time for the rice to absorb water, which will increase the stickiness of the rice. Second, adding ice to the rice will increase the amount of amino acids, preventing the enzyme from breaking down the sweetness in the rice grains, bringing a much better flavor.

This is one of the ways that Japanese people use to cook fragrant and sticky rice.

In addition, many Japanese people also have the habit of adding a teaspoon of honey to the rice cooker, along with two ice cubes. According to them, honey has the effect of retaining water, which will make the rice more delicious and sticky.

Some people also mix a little salt with a few drops of sesame oil, then pour it into the rice cooker before cooking to help the rice become fragrant, soft, plump and shiny after cooking. If you don't have sesame oil, you can replace it with olive oil or peanut oil, which will still give the same results.

So, cooking rice is not just as simple as washing the rice, putting it in the pot, and pressing a button. Try these new ways to get a pot of sticky, fragrant, and delicious rice!
