Many people love white rice, but are afraid to cook the cereal because of its calorie content.
There is a way to avoid the impact of side dishes on your figure by adding one secret ingredient.
Culinary expert of TUT NEWS, cook and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you how to halve the calorie content of rice when cooking.
How to cook diet rice
White polished rice is dangerous not only because of its caloric content, but also because of its high glycemic index. This means that after you eat the porridge, your blood sugar level will increase.
However, if you add coconut oil during cooking, it will increase the amount of indigestible starch, which the human body does not have the appropriate enzymes to break down.
Consequently, such food will not be digested, which means it will not turn into sugar and be absorbed into the blood.
Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to boiling water, add rice and cook until done. Cool the porridge, put it in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
Rice can be reheated before eating.
