How to Choose Good Green Rice
- When buying green rice, you should choose rice that is firm, thin, flat, and has a chewy, nutty, sweet flavor with the aroma of young rice.
- Natural, traditional green rice will have a light green color like young banana shoots, and when soaked in water for 30 minutes, it will retain its green color without fading.
- Avoid buying green rice that is too dark green and has no aroma of young rice, as these are industrial green rice dyed with food coloring and will not taste good.
Tools Needed
Blender, refrigerator, knife, cup, air fryer,…
