米を鍋で炊いたら意外と簡単だったよ

English_Practice

When I lived in Japan, I often cooked rice useing a rice-cooker. For instance, white rice, brown rice and mixed rice.

Introducing rice

I thought I hadn’t cooked rice in NZ. However, there are a lot of rice in the supermarket. As you know, Japonica rice are sold only unique supermarkets, but there are much indica rice.

The represent of indica rice is basmati rice, but I used jasmine rice this time. They are used in Thai and Vietnam. I can cook fourteen bowls of rice per 1kg and it costs $3.5(approximatly 300 yen).

As a side note, it is a sign which is healthy or not on the left below. The number is higher and higher so it is healthier. I’m not sure it is true. I show other examples which frozen berries and almonds has five stars and potato chips has 1.5 stars.

How to cook rice

It’s not main topic, it’s easy to cook rice.

1. Prepare rice and water as boiling in the rice-cooker
2. Wash rice before boiling
3. Boil on the midium heat and put rice in the pot and change the low heat and put the lid
4. After 10 to 20 minutes, stop heat and steam it

I added a spoon of olive oil and soy sauce in the water this time. Japonica rice done that is good taste so I tried that other rice because I was interested in it.

I didn’t have a cup so I used a tomato can which I cooked other meal. I cooked rice 180g so it is two bowl of rice. If I cook like that, it is convenience to reduce dish.

The rice a little steamed is like that after boiling and putting. After that, it mixed butter. I wanted to put garlic and the stock is better than water. However, it was delicious.

I used ziploc which I brought in Japan to save rice. It is useful because I often used it. I recommend it if you live in New Zealand for a long time. Moreover, I used good olive oil which I bought in Waiheke Island.

I will try other rice especially brown rice. it is like “genmai” and healthy. See you later.

日本語版

日本にいたころは炊飯器があったのでよくご飯を作っていました。簡単な白米や玄米、たまに炊き込みご飯という感じですね。

米の紹介

こちらにいてご飯を食べることはないと思ってましたが、意外とお米は売ってたりします。もちろん日本米は特定の店舗以外流通してないのですが、インディカ米はよく見かけます。

インディカ米で代表的なのはバスマティライスですが、今回使用したのはジャスミン米になります。よくタイやベトナムで使用されているみたいです。1kgで14杯ぐらい作れて料金が$3.5(約300円)くらいになります。

余談ですが左下にある星は健康の良さに対する指標になっていて、高ければ高いほど健康に良いとされています。本当かどうかはわかりませんが。他の例を出すと冷凍ベリーやアーモンドだと星5でポテチだと星1.5とかになります。

米の作り方

話がそれましたが、米の作り方自体は簡単で

1. 炊飯器で炊くのと同じように米とそれに対する水を用意します。
2. 水が沸騰する前に米を軽く研ぐ
3. 中火で沸騰したら米を入れて弱火にして蓋をする
4. 10~20分経過したら火を止めて蒸らして完成

今回は水にオリーブオイルと醤油を少し入れました。日本米でやった時は美味しかったので他の米だとどうなるか気になったので同じように試してみます。

カップがなかったので別の料理で使ったトマト缶をカップにしました。今回は180gほどなので2杯分くらいです。これくらい雑でも作れるようになるなら使えるものも減ってお得な気がしてます（笑）

沸騰して米を入れて少しして蒸らしたらこんな感じ。そこにバターを入れて混ぜたら完成です。本当はニンニクを入れて、水の代わりにストックをいれたらもっと良いんですが…それでも割と美味しかったので良かったです。

米の保管は日本から持ってきたジップロックを使います。ジップロックを箱ごと持ってきましたがちょくちょく使うので便利です。長期滞在するなら多少あるとおすすめです。それからオリーブはワイヘケで買った良いやつを使ってみました。

ニュージーランドでは他にも米があるのでいくつか試してみようと思います。特にブラウン米ですね。玄米のようなもので健康に良さそうなので。ではでは。
