Today, I wanna talk about lentils and rice in rice cooker. That thing, it’s a lifesaver! You just throw stuff in, and bam, food’s ready. No need to watch it like a hawk.
First thing, you gotta pick the right lentils. There’s a whole bunch of ’em. Green ones, brown ones, red ones… They’re all good for you, I reckon. Lentils and brown rice, they is cheap, make you strong. If you like white rice, like that basmati, or jasmine, you can use them too. Use what you like to eat.
Then, you gotta wash that rice. Wash it good, two, three times. Get all that cloudy stuff out. Same with the lentils, give ’em a good rinse. Don’t want no dirt in your food, no sir!
Now, how much water? That’s the big question. Some folks say one cup lentils, one cup rice. Easy to remember, huh? But for water, that’s different. You need more water than lentils. I always use more water, if one cup lentils, then put two cup water. More water is better, I always say that, don’t be stingy on the water.
- One cup rice, wash it good.
- One cup lentils, them too, wash ’em.
- Water, two cups for the lentils, I think that’s right. For rice, two and half cups water, I put more, three cups.
- If you like, put some carrots, those long orange things.
Some smart folks, they like to put all kinds of things in there. Carrots, those orange things, they’re good. Or other veggies. Whatever you got, throw it in. Make it taste good. Add what you like, don’t be shy.
Then, you just put it all in that rice cooker thing. Close the lid. Push the button, the one that says “Rice”. That’s it! You can forget about it. It turns itself down when it’s done. It’s like magic, I tell ya. That rice cooker, it knows what to do.
That rice cooker, you can cook other things in it, not just rice. It’s a good thing, that rice cooker. It knows when to stop, so your food don’t burn. They are good, they do a good job, make life easy.
So, you put the lentils, the rice, the water, all in there. Push the button. Go do something else. Come back later, food’s ready! Hot and good. Easy peasy, right? That is how I do it, and it is good, my family likes it.
Oh, I almost forgot. After you put all stuff in the rice cooker, you can add some salt. Just a little, not too much. And maybe a little oil, if you have some. Makes it taste better, you know? Make the rice and lentils not stick together, all slippery and nice.
That rice cooker, it’s a good helper. You don’t need to be a fancy cook, no sir. Just throw things in, and it does the work. I like things that is easy, this is very easy, anyone can do it. Even my neighbor, old man, he can do it too.
When it’s done, that light goes off. Then you can eat! Fluffy rice, soft lentils, all cooked together. Good for you, too. Lentils and rice, they fill you up. Good for a cold day, or any day, really. Good food, keep you warm, keep you full.
You can eat it just like that, or maybe with some meat, if you have some. Or an egg. Whatever you like. Make it your own. You can also put some other things in there, like those spices. I don’t know all their names, but they smell good. Make the food taste fancy. But if you don’t have, it is ok, still good.
So that’s it. Lentils and rice in rice cooker. Easy, cheap, good for you. What more do you want? Try it sometime. You’ll like it, I bet. I have been cooking like this for many years, never fail. It is a good way to cook.
I hope you all like this. It is easy to make lentils and rice in rice cooker. This is how I do it, and it always turns out good. Just remember, wash the rice, wash the lentils, put enough water, and push the button. That’s all! You can do it, anyone can do it. It is not hard, it is easy. And it’s good food, too. Good for you and your family. Now go on and try it, you will see, you will like it!
