AUTOMATED RECIPE BOILED RICE STEPS

Now pull up the TM5 Automated Recipe Boiled Rice.

 

For this step, you need to make sure the liquid ingredients total 1000g because the rice to liquid ratio MUST be 1:2. Otherwise you won't be able to cook the rice and other ingredients properly at the fixed time.

 

1. With the char siew left in your bowl, open the Automated Recipe > Boiled Rice on your menu.

2. Add water based on the 2:1 rice ratio (e.g. 1L water if you're making 500g rice), and then pre-washed the rice to remove starch.

3. Skip the first section of the Boiled Rice Automated Recipe where it cooks the water and bay leaf - and start cooking at the next step.

4. Add rice. Then proceed to turn the selector to begin cooking.

5. Once rice is ready, transfer to a ThermoServer to rest and keep warm. Serve with sliced Char Siew and sliced shallots as garnish.
