Instant Rice with a Dehydrator

Prep Time 30 minutes
Dehydrating Time 8 hours

Equipment

  • Dehydrator
  • Small Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Uncooked Rice -see notes
  • 2 cups Water

Instructions
 

  • Wash and prepare your rice according to its cooking instructions. Allow rice to cool slightly, until you are able to handle it.
  • Set your dehydrator between 122°-125°F, and set up your dehydrator trays. You may use parchment paper if the holes in your trays are too big to hold the rice.
  • Spread your cooled rice out onto the dehydrator trays into a thin layer.
  • Dehydrate for about 8 hours, until completely dry and the rice snaps when broken.
  • Break up the rice, and store in an air tight container until ready to use.

How to Re-hydrate the Rice

  • Add the amount of rice you wish to re-hydrate to a heat safe bowl.
  • Add the same amount of boiling hot water to the bowl, making sure the rice is submerged.
  • Cover, and allow rice to soak, for 3 minute. Stir the rice, cover again, and soak for another 3 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

-I used white rice, but you can use whatever type of rice you would like.
-The rice is re-hydrated with a 1:1 ratio. You may need to play around with the amount  of water used, and soaking time, depending on your preferences and type of rice used.
