Steamed white rice

The staple in every pack — consistent steaming at thousands-of-portions scale.

Ratio & method

  • Rice : water = 1 : 1.2 (weight) for absorption; 1 : 1.4 for parboil-then-steam (aron).
  • Wash rice 2× under running water — no more, B1 dissolves.
  • Cook until water is fully absorbed, fold once, rest covered 10 min.

Quality & safety

Done rice: intact grains, fluffy, no hard core. Hot-hold ≥60 °C; rice older than 4 hours must not be re-served — Bacillus cereus risk.

Production scaling

Rice scales linearly f=1.0 — 75 g × N. Water follows the ratio, but large steamers evaporate less: drop water ~5% for N>500. Commercial cookers are typically 10 kg — plan batches per pot.
