Scientific studies on rice cooking and texture
Overview
Scientific research and expert analysis have provided insights into the physics and culinary techniques involved in rice preparation.
Prof. Dr. Eng. Mikrajuddin Abdullah from the Bandung Institute of Technology explained that stirring rice immediately after cooking is beneficial because it allows trapped water droplets to escape through evaporation and diffusion. This process prevents moisture from causing the rice to spoil quickly.
Further research into rice texture indicates that the number of times rice is washed does not significantly impact its final stickiness or hardness; instead, texture is primarily determined by the rice variety and its amylopectin content. To manage overcooked or soft rice, techniques such as spreading it on a wide surface to release steam, sautéing it, or cooling it in a refrigerator before stir-frying can help firm the grains.
