"How to boil rice?" "How to have it nice and fluffy - not sticky?" "How to cook rice easily?" Even, "How to steam rice?" Every had these questions? Well, here's your answer!
If you're planning a traditional German meal, or perhaps a Chinese meal without the take-out, try this hint for making perfect rice, aka Reis, EVERY TIME!
The trickiest part in making rice traditional way was the timing to get it just right. However, this method is so fool-proof, combining boiling and steaming. It's the way I've made it for decades. Check below for an even easier way that I use now!)
Have Oma by your side ... helping you
The boiling gets the rice cooking quickly. The steaming finishes it off. You will need a medium to large pot and a large sieve that fits it, so that the sieve spans the top of the pot and the bottom of the sieve sits at least 2 inches from the bottom of the pot.
Need a Mushroom Gravy?
Want to make this absolutely wunderbar mushroom gravy to go along with the rice? Check it out here! Use the recipe near the bottom of that page ... the one with the onions as well.
This is the Galloping Gourmet Rice
Many years ago, as a young wife, I was watching the Galloping Gourmet on TV. The boil/steam method is what he was showing AND it's been the only way I've made my rice since then. That's over 40 years ago! When something is this easy and good, why change it!
Want an even EASIER Rice Method?
Yes, there really is an even easier, and dare I say it, better way to make rice. Take a look at these wonderfully cook grains ...
Doesn't it look absolutely PERFECT? That's what hubby says as well. Want to know how to make it like this? Click right here!!!!
Are you still wanting to make it with the boiling and steaming method? Then here you go ...
Oma says,
For quantities, 1 cup of raw long-grained rice equals about 3 cups cooked. I usually cook up about 1 to 1½ cups rice and have leftovers for the next day. For long-grained brown rice, the method is the same, but the times are doubled.
If the rice is done and you are not ready to serve it, keep it over steam until you are. Steaming is also a great way to reheat leftovers.

Thinking of starting your own Handmade Business?
This Oma KNOWS you CAN do it.
How do I know?
Well, if I can do it, anyone can.
I've even figured out how I can help you.
I've teamed up with my own business coach, Renae Christine (yes, do google her!), to bring you this free masterclass. After you watch it, ask me any questions and I'll gladly answer them.
Don't hesitate. I'm not sure how long Renae will keep this free masterclass available.
PS: Yes, Renae really is as amazing as all the reviews say.
PPS: Yes, the course is for handmade items, but I've used it successfully for my cookbooks. I know others are using her methods for services, direct sales, and even a local ice cream bar & grill that's constantly selling out. You've nothing to lose by taking a look ... and a whole bunch to gain.

What others are saying about Oma's cookbooks
As a German-American that is a bit culinarily challenged, this book is a true blessing!
What makes this book extra wonderful is that the recipes are separated by region.
German food is more complex than bratwurst, sauerkraut and pretzels!
This classic cookbook (German Meals at Oma's) has not only a variety of different recipes, but also key notes to help even those with little experience in the kitchen learn to make excellent German cuisine.
