Can I eat rice during confinement?

Rice is the main staple food in the Northeast, South and other regions. Can mothers eat rice during the confinement period? Mothers can eat rice during the confinement period, but if some other foods are added to the rice, the woman's body can recover faster, such as red dates, red beans and other foods. Below are several different ways to stew rice. Friends who like to eat rice can learn about it.

1. How many days after giving birth can you eat dry rice?

Rice is the staple food in the south, while noodles are the main food in the north, so it will not cause harm to women during confinement if they eat staple food. In terms of nutritional value, rice germ and endosperm contain 90% of the nutrients for the human body, and are nutritionally balanced, so they are also rich in carbohydrates and protein. Therefore, rice is safe for pregnant women. To ensure nutrient absorption, it is recommended that women in confinement cook the rice a little softer, which will help the effect. If you can make rice porridge with dates, red beans, sweet potatoes and lotus seeds, it will be perfect for women in confinement.

2. Introduction to the method of stewing rice

1. Use a special rice measuring cup to measure the required amount of rice correctly. When washing rice, add a large amount of water for the first time, stir it quickly and then pour out the water immediately. Use your palms to press and rub the rice, and rinse it repeatedly with water until it is clear.

2. Put the washed rice into the inner pot and add the correct amount of water. Leave it for about half an hour to allow the rice to absorb the water before starting to cook. After the rice is cooked, continue to keep it warm for about 10 to 15 minutes before opening the lid. Use a rice spoon to stir the cooked rice evenly to get the fragrant white rice.

3. If you are not sure about cooking the rice to the right degree, adding a drop or two of wine can turn the half-cooked rice into fragrant white rice!

4. Add a pinch of salt and salad oil to the washed rice to make the cooked rice shiny.

3. Rice with different flavors

1. Steamed rice with tea: Steaming rice with tea can make the rice have better color, aroma, taste and nutrition, and it has the benefits of removing greasiness, cleaning the mouth, digesting food and adding vitamins. The method is: take an appropriate amount of tea leaves according to the amount of rice, soak it in boiling water for 5 minutes, and then filter out the tea leaves. Pour the filtered tea into the washed rice and steam it in a pot.

2. Steamed rice with vinegar: Cooked rice should not be kept for a long time, otherwise it will easily go bad. If you add some vinegar when steaming rice, it can make the rice easier to store and prevent it from going bad. The steamed rice will not have a vinegar smell, on the contrary, the rice will be more fragrant.

3. Steamed rice with wine: When you find that the steamed rice is not cooked through, you can use a spatula to loosen the rice, add two tablespoons of rice wine or yellow wine, and then cook it over low heat for a while, and the rice will no longer be cooked through.

4. Steamed rice with oil: Old rice is not as delicious as new rice, but by changing the method of steaming rice, old rice can be made as delicious as new rice. Method: Wash the old rice, soak it in clean water for two hours, take it out and drain it, then put it into a pot, add appropriate amount of hot water and vegetable oil, boil it over high heat until it is dry, then simmer it over low heat for 30 minutes. If using a pressure cooker, simmer for 5 minutes.

5. Steamed rice with salt: This method is only used when re-steaming leftover rice. Leftover rice needs to be re-steamed before being eaten. Re-steamed rice always has a peculiar smell and is not as delicious as freshly steamed rice. If you add a small amount of salt water when steaming leftover rice, you can remove the peculiar smell of the rice.

4. Cooking Rice with Different Utensils

1. Rice cooker: Wash the rice clean, put it in the pot and add water. The water should be about 1 cm higher than the rice surface. Adjust the heating mode and wait for it to automatically jump to the constant temperature mode and simmer for 20 minutes before serving. Otherwise, the rice will stick to the pot.

2. Pressure cooker: Wash the rice clean, put it in a pot and add water. The water should be about 1 cm above the rice surface. Cover the pot, steam for 6 to 8 minutes after the pressure valve releases the jet, turn off the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

3. Microwave oven: Use a professional microwave oven to leave a small amount of water on the washed rice for 15 minutes, or wash the rice in the morning, drain the water and leave it for lunch or dinner. Add water to less than 1 cm before putting it into the oven, seal the lid, heat on high heat for 3-5 minutes, and defrost for 10-15 minutes. The above is my personal experience, and you also need to be flexible depending on the amount of rice.

After looking at the above methods, which one do you like? Everyone has different tastes and preferences, so you can choose the flavor you like. These stewed rices are very nutritious. The original nutrients of the rice will not be lost because of stewing. Moreover, both the elderly and children can eat them, so there is no need to worry about any harm.
