Nowadays, the thought of going to a restaurant itself can make one’s wallet cry out in pain. As a lot of people are pinching in any way they can, eating it doesn’t have to be a humdrum snore fest. Here, this simple trick to serving rice will make you feel like you’re experiencing fancy dining.
This trick from recipes on TikTok takes a serving of rice and elevates it literally.
Take a large mug or soup bowl and place a smaller cup inside, bottom side facing up.
Spoon the rice into the bowl, making sure that the rice is pushed into all of the crevasses and corners.
Cover the top with another layer of rice, creating the base for the rice to sit on. Flip the rice onto a plate. Remove the bowl first, and then carefully remove the smaller cup from the rice.
The result? A tower of rice with its own built bowl. The crevasse made by the smaller teacup creates a perfect concave indentation, perfect for spooning in stews, stir-fries, or curry.
If you try this trick, what would you put into the rice?
