Rice cooking
« on: August 03, 2014, 10:30:25 pm »
I want to make rice cakes as a portable food source for long bike rides. It needs to be sticky like a rice cooker makes it. Has anyone cooked rice like this in a TM?

DD,  risotto rise might be the answer.  Cook risotto with less water.  Only cook it for 10 minutes and let it absorb  the rest of the water and finish cooking.  Just an idea.
Good to hear from you.  ;D

Like chookies idea Den but is there much nutrition in them for long bike rides?  How about oat cakes?

Lovely to hear from you DD.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Thanks for the ideas.

Gert the rice is just a base, you add other ingredients like diced ham, eggs, fruit etc. I recently picked up a book called feed zone portables.

You could use glutinous rice and steam it in parcels (same way it's done in Asia)

I have a friend who eats rice cakes by the carton. I will try these for him.

Thanks CC!  ;D I'm not sure what pudding rice is, I'm guessing it is like aborio?

Short grain rice, I expect it's the same as glutinous or risotto

Bonsai is right DD it a short grain rice. It's sold here in packets labeled "Pudding Rice" which people use to make rice pudding :)

I used the Arborio rice which is short grain rice used for risotto and puddings as it has high starch levels.
