The techniques and safety points this recipe uses, explained from scratch.
Cooked rice: cool it fast, eat it within a dayShow
Uncooked rice can carry spores (Bacillus cereus) that survive cooking. If cooked rice sits warm, they wake up and make a toxin that reheating does not destroy. The fix is easy: don't let it sit warm.
- Eat it straight away, or cool leftovers quickly — spread it out on a plate or tray so it cools within about an hour.
- Then put it in the fridge. Eat it within 24 hours.
- Reheat it only once, until it is steaming hot all the way through.
Spring onionsShow
Mild and quick. The white part is stronger; the green tops are softer and often scattered over at the end.
- Trim off the hairy root and any tired tips of the green.
- Line them up together and slice across into thin rings, or slice long thin strips at an angle.
Opening tinsShow
Ring-pull lids have razor-sharp edges once open.
- Pull the ring slowly and steadily towards you, keeping fingers away from the lid's edge.
- Don't press food down with your fingers inside an open tin — use a spoon.
Cooking riceShow
Two easy ways: boil it like pasta (hardest to get wrong), or the absorption method (fluffier).
- Rinse it in a sieve under the cold tap until the water runs mostly clear.
- Like pasta: boil in lots of salted water, 10–12 minutes for white rice (brown takes 25–30), tasting until tender, then drain.
- Absorption: 1 mug of rice to 1½ mugs of water and a pinch of salt. Boil uncovered until the water drops below the rice and small holes appear, then lid on, lowest heat, 12–15 minutes. Don't lift the lid.
- Take it off the heat and leave it covered for 5–10 minutes, then fluff it up with a fork.
Ready when: Each grain is soft all the way through, with no chalky white centre.
