Cooking Tips
🍚 Rice
- Rinse rice 2-3 times before cooking to remove excess starch.
- Use a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water for fluffy results.
- Let rice rest covered for 10 minutes after cooking, then fluff with a fork.
Nutrition: Good source of energy and manganese. Brown rice adds fiber and B vitamins.
Storage: Dry rice lasts 2+ years. Cooked rice keeps 4-6 days refrigerated.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
