I wonder if there's any technique to reduce the cooking time for white rice. Whenever I go hiking my meals are based around pasta, because I have a limited amount of fuel.
Btw the fastest way I know is to cook it for about 15 mins and let it rest for covered for 5 minutes.
>inb4 make a fire
Not an option.
I like the consistency of cooking it for only 10 minutes.

for how much rice?
>>7525902
There is such a thing as instant rice. It's not something I'd normally buy but for hiking/camping it seems ideal.
>>7525902
Idk of a quick method for rice but they make the minute rice packages that only takes like 5 minutes or something like that.
>>7525911
The cooking time doesn't change.
>>7525924
they also make instant rice that just needs to be heated
5 minutes in a pressure cooker

Yeah I've tried those. I'm not a piccky eater. But they're unsufferable.
I haven't experimented yet, but I was thinking that maybe if I pour boiling water over the rice and let it be into a tupperware container that would be the whole day in my backpack, it would reduce the cooking time. Just an idea tho.

Really? And you let it rest for how long?
Sure, you can grind it into a fine flour (or buy rice flour, though it is more expensive). That will speed it up significantly

>Really? And you let it rest for how long?
5 minutes I suppose.
Never really thought about it since I'm usually cooking something else before serving myself.

>if I pour boiling water over the rice and let it be into a tupperware container that would be the whole day in my backpack
Plus a serving of B. cereus

What sort of hiker doesn't know the flask cooking method? You put rice and boiling water in a flask when you make a hot drink in the morning and lunch time you have hot, cooked rice.
>>7525955
lol
But really. Just thought of it. Don't know if it would work. When I'm camping I leave my oats soaking over night in a small container inside my backpack, and then just reheat for breakfast.
>>7525943
I wouldn't pour boiling water into a tupperware container unless its glass. But with that said, it probably wouldn't cook your rice anyways. Maybe just cover it with cold water in the container. Then when you come to cook, it will be softer and should cook faster. I usually clean and soak my rice for about 5-10min before I cook it, though I'm thinking you may get some fermentation going if you leave it for a full days hike. Probably not enough to harm you, but it may taste/smell a little different.
>>7525966
You are right. Not a very good idea.
What's the rush in the first place. You're going to have to wait for it to cook either way might as well play with your fucking toes while you wait.

Dry your own rice then OP
>>7525981
Isn't that only if it's in open air. If you put that shit in a sealed container I doubt it has the same multiplication rate. Maybe add a little salt to the water to keep that shit at bay. Also, isn't B.cereus made up of many strains? Where some are actually beneficial for your digestive tract? Like the ones that would be present in sauerkraut.
What's the best way to reheat leftover rice?
You're hiking for gods sake. If you're not hungry enough to eat minute rice walk another 30 minutes
>>7525981
How do people like you even leave your house in the morning?
It's dumb shits like you who used to shit up the board with "I left food out for five minutes, am I going to get sick" threads.
>>7526127
Most of the times you have to force yourself to eat by the end of the day. You are often so tired that you just want to get into your tent and rest. So the meal might aswell be appealing (given the context of course).

That's rice that's already been cooked. This is a cooking board.
dude
