Angela Cooper+FollowThere's no need to shed tears when Chopping OnionsCut both ends off the onion, then slice it in half from top to bottom.

Angela Cooper+FollowRice Washing: Is It Really Necessary?Measure out your rice and pour it into a large bowl. Fill the bowl with cold water until the rice is fully submerged. Use your hands to gently swirl the rice around. You’ll notice the water gets cloudy—that’s the starch coming off. Pour out the cloudy water, being careful not to lose any rice. Repeat steps 2-4 two or three more times until the water runs almost clear. Drain well before cooking. I always wash my rice. It makes the texture way better and gets rid of any dust or extra starch. Some people skip it, but honestly, it’s worth the extra minute. Your rice will be fluffier and taste cleaner every time. #fyp #privatechef #cookingtips #Food #Cooking61Share
