I always use less water than instructed bc it always comes out soupy, mushy, or both when I don’t. Lol I tried the gas stove and a rice cooker. Now I use way less water and it comes out perfect. I have to kinda eye ball it. This has happened with different rice types too. 🤷🏾‍♀️ maybe it’ll help.

Leave the mushy rice in the rice cooker and press the keep warm button. Eventually the mushy rice will become more dry

[Zigrid_wr]

you should make a cwispy rice pancake. You can do it with mushy rice!

[empressnellza]

Add coconut milk coconut cream and lots of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, or cloves n brown sugar for a rice pudding 😋

That is red rice. Which is harder when brown rice. We eat red rice all the time and this is how I cook it: double the water that you put in the white rice and do the normal rice function. Turns out perfect all the time. And definitely it wouldn’t take 2 hours. Cooks the same time as normal white rice. Clean anyhow you want. I clean until the water is clear as I do with white rice.

Use the way we use to cook red rice in india, we use a pot add soaked res rice and and lot of water and cook it down till 90 %then put a lid and drain excess water, we use red rice water for other things though and put the flame on very low and steam 10-15 min more after draining water keeping covered tight and after cooking rest for 10 min then open the pot😁

ok so i eat red rice as well and i always ignore whatever instruction is written on the package bcs based on experience, the rice never turns out good. so what i do is usually just rinse the rice once and then soak the washed rice in water for about 20-30 minutes (i was taught that this makes the rice fluffier) then i cook the rice. my rice cooker is not fancy and it doesn't really have any options on it so maybe try using the regular rice option. as for the water, i usually either just use the lines on the rice cooker pot or use the regular finger rule. i guess different brands may turn out differently, but this is how i usually cook my red rice. hope this helps!

2.5 to 1 is probably stove directions witch slows for extra evaporation with the longer cook time.
Rice cookers hold in all the water and doesn’t let off steam like a pot would so less water evaporation and you get mushy rice

[vnozdrin]

I’ve noticed stoves tops and rice cookers cook different. Rice cookers usually need less water than a saucepan because of the water escaping difference 🤗

I usually cook with red rice, my tip for you is: leave to soak overnight or for at least 4 hours, then you use the soaking water to wash the rice and discard the water. After that you can cook it on a 1cup of rice to 2 cups of water ratio and proceed to use the white rice setting on your rice cooker. This is what I usually do and works everytime (though my rice cooker don't have a specific type of rice setting hahahaha)

[jacobminh]

Usually I mix it with white rice as well since they don't stick together at all. Water ratio is usually 1:1 for white and 1.5:1 for the red rice and I just use the regular rice cooking function

[Ruqayya]

Make conger with the mushy rice and add different seasonings and shredded chicken

[KS-uvrh]

With any rice I always start with the 1rice:1.5water ratio (i mean I eyeball it but it's kind of that ratio) and it's better to add less water when experimenting because you can always add more water to your hard rice and recook it in quick cook setting to get them right.... And next time just cook with more water. Btw the recooking rice I also do for old rice, if I dont feel like having fried rice I just add a bit of water and recook it in rice cooker.

rule no. 1 in my Southeast Asian household to cook rice: *never do what instructed on the packaging* 😊😊

edit: wow 2k for this comment!!😂 thank you all rice eaters😅😅

Hey my husband and I actually eat this on a daily basis, very beneficial to health. Took me a couple of trials before I got it right. So here's how: it's correct to cook it on brown rice/multigrain settting, I don't add that much water, maybe just a bit more than how you'd cook your normal white rice, like 1.5 cup water for a cup red rice. Again, my preference might not be the same as yours so keep adjusting, you'll get closer next time you make it 😊

[klutziez]

Soak the rice for 30 minutes and use the same ratio as white rice. Works for me, and soaking as a cooking step is soooo underrated!

[Misery_Loves]

You can use that for red rice porridge .-. Also please don’t use the brown rice setting. It cooks it wayyy too slow so that’s why it’s watery. If your rice cooker doesn’t have the red rice setting do the custom setting, I can’t remember what it is at the top of my head but I know it’s in between 2 settings cuz it can’t be cooked up too fast or it will burn.

Try 1.5 water to rice for that nice bouncy texture. Put the mush rice in a baking tray, broil for a bit and then make crunchy sushi rice :)
