Which type of rice is light and fluffy when it is cooked?
Long Grain Rice Due to its starch composition, it is separate, light and fluffy when cooked. When compared to long grain rice, medium grain rice has a shorter, wider kernel. Since the cooked grains are more moist and tender than long grain rice, the rice has a greater tendency to stick together.
Why is my rice so mushy?
If you use too much water, the grains can become mushy, and too little water can re-harden the rice, causing it to stick to the bottom of the pan. The same amount of water will boil off each time, so subtract the amount of rice from the amount of water in your original perfect batch.
Why does my rice turn out sticky?
