Normally, when cooking rice and there is leftover rice, people like to wrap it up and store it for the next meal. Most people like to store it in the refrigerator or in a food storage container to prevent the rice from spoiling. However, there are times when even though it is stored in a food storage container and put in the refrigerator, why does the rice still spoil?
There are many reasons why rice goes bad. It could be from bacteria in the rice cooker, rice gum, etc. Therefore, you have to change the cooking method and solve the problem. One popular/recommended method is to add vinegar when cooking rice.
Benefits of adding vinegar when cooking rice
- The rice grains are beautiful and rise more in the pot
because the acid in the vinegar affects the properties of the rice by making it absorb more water, making the rice rise more in the pot and the grains more beautiful. - Rice is less likely to spoil / Rice can be stored for a longer period of time.
Rice gum is reduced from the original, resulting in less factors for bacterial growth, so rice can be stored for a longer period of time.
However, there are also precautions to be taken , which is to choose the type of vinegar. With so many different products available, we should choose a vinegar formula that does not contain too much sugar and not too much. For each cooking, just 1 teaspoon of vinegar is enough. If too much is added, we may be affected by the acidity of the vinegar, risking acid reflux or gastritis.
Of course, if you don’t normally have a problem with spoiled rice or rice not rising in the pot, then you don’t need to add vinegar . We recommend choosing rice that has the properties you need, such as:
- If you like soft and fragrant rice, choose jasmine rice or fragrant rice that is not old rice.
- If you like rice that is in grains and not stuck together, and that is cooked in a pot, choose white rice or old fragrant rice.
There are also other ways to store rice without adding vinegar, such as letting the rice release steam before putting it in a tightly closed container and refrigerating/freezing it. When you want to eat it, reheat it. Or if your rice cooker is a new model with a rice warming mode, you can leave it on the warming mode. But what you shouldn’t do is unplug the rice cooker without taking out the rice. Leave it warm in the pot. With the increased humidity and temperature in the pot, there is a chance that bacteria will grow and the rice will spoil in the pot. This is when things really get serious.
