How to cook rice to increase resistant starch and stabilize blood sugar

HẠ MÂY (THEO ABOLUOWANG) |

Soaking rice before cooking increases the content of resistant starch, helps create a feeling of fullness for a long time and contributes to better blood sugar control.

400 grams of ordinary rice. Clean water in a ratio of rice and water 1:1.2.

How to do it: Wash rice, remove spoiled grains and impurities, then put them in a clean bowl. Add water at room temperature so that the water level is about 2 cm higher than the rice surface.

Soak the rice for about 6 hours in a cool place, avoid direct sunlight and do not change the water during soaking. After soaking, the rice grains will absorb enough water, expand evenly and become softer.

Pour all the rice and soaking water into the rice cooker, no need to add water.

Choose a regular rice cooking mode. When the pot switches to a warm setting mode, continue to incubate the rice for about 10 more minutes before opening the lid.

Use a spoon to stir well to loosen the rice and reduce heat. The finished product is soft, chewy and easy-to-eat rice.

Soaking rice for a long time helps increase the content of resistant starch, which can help reduce blood sugar levels. This type of starch is digested slower, creating a feeling of fullness for a long time, helping to limit the amount of food consumed in each meal. In addition, rice after soaking is also softer, contributing to reducing pressure on the digestive system and suitable for regular use in a balanced diet.
