How to cook rice for garnish?
Rice is tasty and healthy cereals, ideal for all types of meat and vegetables. But many buyers are faced with the problem of choosing the right cereals. Let's deal with this issue.
Which pic to choose?

This type of cereal is rather sticky due to the large volume of starch and keeps its shape perfectly. Round grain rice is also suitable for Japanese dishes. For Russian cereals with meat, mushrooms, polished or steamed rice is more suitable, as well as a variety of jasmine.
