Buckwheat is a very popular side dish that is quite easy to prepare.
However, there are some life hacks that will help improve the taste of this dish.
The details were shared by cook and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova .
Selecting quality cereals
The taste of buckwheat is largely influenced by its quality. Therefore, it is worth making sure that there is as little dust and debris in the buckwheat as possible.
After all, it is almost impossible to sort out the grains properly, and therefore all of it may end up in the pan.
You also need to pay attention to the integrity of the grains. They should not be too crushed.
Preliminary preparation
Before cooking, it is important to rinse the cereal thoroughly.
Afterwards, you need to dry it a little on a paper towel.
Besides this, there is one trick that will help to better reveal the taste qualities of buckwheat.
In this situation, it needs to be fried a little in a frying pan. This will also help make the dish crumbly.
Proper preparation
To make buckwheat tasty, it needs to be cooked properly.
The cereal must be filled with water in a ratio of one to two.
After the water boils, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 or 20 minutes.
After this, you need to turn off the heat and let the buckwheat stand under the lid for about ten more minutes.
In this case, it is advisable to add oil and salt to the finished dish.
To add variety to the usual side dish, you can add dried garlic, turmeric, a little chili pepper or onion.
