How to Cook Thai Red Rice
- 1). Soak one cup of Thai red rice with two cups of water in a medium-sized saucepan for 30 minutes. The pre-soaking will allow for shorter cooking times.
- 2). Drain the soaked rice into a colander. Add 1 1/2 cups of fresh water and the soaked rice into your medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the water is boiling.
- 3). Turn down the heat to simmer and cook for another 20 minutes or until the Thai red rice is done. Be sure to stir the rice a few times during cooking. It will have a chewy texture, unlike white rice.
