Her Khao (rice cooking)

Her Khao is a traditional rice cooking method involving soaking, rinsing, and slow steaming or boiling rice to enhance its flavor and texture. The process typically starts with rinsing the rice to remove surface starch, then soaking it to allow the grains to absorb water evenly. The rice is then cooked using precise heat control, often in a specialized vessel, until the grains are tender yet separate. This technique ensures a flavorful, fluffy rice with improved consistency, often used in various Asian cuisines. Proper timing and temperature are essential to achieve optimal results.
