Even after steaming again, the leftover rice will be as delicious as freshly steamed rice. .

6. "Slope" rice steaming method. Three generations living under the same roof, the whole family is happy. But it is inconvenient to steam rice. Elderly people want to eat soft rice, while young people like to eat hard rice. Some filial children often serve rice from the center of the rice pot to their elders, thinking that the rice in the center is soft and delicious, but it is not. If you deliberately stack the rice grains in the pot at an angle before steaming the rice, so that the thick end is soaked in less water and the thin end is soaked in more water, then the steamed rice will be both soft and hard. Part of the rice is soft and it is no longer difficult to adjust to the taste.
