Red rice is a complete source of vitamins and minerals. Unlike white rice, it contains plenty of iron, phosphorus and B vitamins. Especially developing children and the elderly need to consume plenty of red rice. Thanks to the anthocyanin it contains, red rice helps remove many harmful substances from the body. Instead of white refined rice, do not miss red rice pilaf, which is healthier, on your table. Enjoy your meal!
Rinse the rice abundantly and let it rest for 1 hour in warm salt water. Finely chop the onion, crush the garlic and finely chop. If you are going to use fresh garlic, chop the heads in the same way.
Separate the green parts of the spring onions and chop the white parts finely.
Heat the oil and butter in a saucepan. Take the onions and turn them a couple of turns.
Add the drained and washed rice to the pot and turn it around with the onions. If you like it hot, chop the chili pepper and add it to the pot.
Add hot broth or drinking water to the rice mixture and adjust the salt. If you are going to add soy sauce, you can not add salt.
Take your rice on low heat, close the lid and cook until the water is gone.
Take the rice that absorbs the water from the fire, cover it with a paper towel and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. During the service phase, open the lid and turn it upside down to ventilate and serve warm. Bon Appetit!
