Did you know you could freeze rice, until ½ an hour ago I didn't.
I get regular emails from different cooking, recipe sites and click on a post for a very quick 3 course meal, and one of the items listed, frozen cooked rice, so of course I had to do a search on this, and found a great comment on the following website re frozen rice.
http://justbento.com/handbook/bento-basics/how-freezing-preportioned-riceI wish I had know that last week, as I cooked Fried rice (not) in my Thermomix, I used a Quirky Cooking recipe call fried rice, and it said to use 400g.
The reason I cooked 400g, (we didn't need that much) was that I had my Varoma demonstration last week and the demonstrator Margy, told us that you could cook 400g in the steaming basket, and Granma, being Granma questioned the amount, by saying "Are you sure, that is a lot of rice?" and Margy said yes that it was correct.
Well I tried it, put 150g of coconut milk (left over from the Varoma demo) into the water, along with all of the other ingredients that I would normally use to cook fried rice, put the Varoma on the top, and I was gobsmacked at the end of the cooking time, the rice was lovely and fluffy and flavoursome top, and I would certainly cook it that way again.
