Which one of the following counties does not belong to the list of the most corrupt countries?
Arrange P, Q, R, S between S1 & S6 to give the correct sequence of the sentences below. Sl. She was an old woman with a large purse that had everything in it.
Arrange PQRS to describe the completeness of process.
P: Now, presoak rice in plain water for 15 minutes. The presoaking allows moisture to penetrate the grain, increasing the heat conductivity thus reducing the cooking time. This reduction in time allows the rice grains to be less sticky or better texture. The brown rice may be soaked for longer time.
Q: One of the most common questions is how many cups of water are needed for each cup of rice. Theoretically, one cup of rice needs two cups of water to be fully cooked, but there is loss of water via evaporation during cooking. Also, lots of water has already entered the grains during presoaking.
R: Almost all the rice processed should be washed before using. The powdery substance found on rice is usually the leftover starch from milling process. We need to remove this powdery substance to prevent rice from sticking together.
S: The relationship between the amount of water and amount of rice is not linear. 1 cup of un-soaked rice may need 2% cups of water, while 2 cups of the same rice for similar texture may take 4 cups of water. The answer is not simple. The ratio depends on type of rice, desired texture as well as the quantity of rice to be cooked. As a rule, use 2% cups of water for each cup of un-soaked rice. Introduce presoaked rice to boiling water. Wait till the water comes to a boil and your rice will be ready in no time.
