Using rice water

I tend to use rice water for all sorts of things.

I also use it a lot when cooking.

I also water the plants.

I recently found out that it is also used when washing your face.

I've often seen products containing rice bran in cosmetics as well.

I looked to see if there might be other ways to use it, and found a previous news article.

I brought this to share.

Let's refer to this and make use of it.

◇ Skin Health Care

Therefore, they are effective in brightening dull skin and preventing skin troubles. When washing your face with rice water, use the water from rinsing the rice two or three times. The water used to wash the rice for the first time may contain pesticides or dust.

◇ Washing kitchen containers
Rice water is also effective for washing kitchen containers such as ice cube trays. If you soak stained and greasy ice cube trays in rice water for about an hour, the starch in the water removes stains and absorbs odors. Greasy dishes can also be cleanly cleaned by soaking them in rice water for a short time. Also, If you pour rice water into an airtight container that has absorbed odors and leave it for about a day, the smell will completely disappear. You can also see it.

◇ Using broth · Preparing ingredients
Using rice water instead of regular water when making stews such as soybean paste stew, seaweed soup, or kimchi stew can produce a deeper and richer flavor. The umami taste of water kimchi can also be achieved using rice water. Additionally, soaking red chili powder in rice water allows the starch to add a savory richness to the broth. Rice water is also useful for preparing ingredients. Soaking sour kimchi or strong-smelling fish like dried yellow corvina, croaker, or mackerel in rice water reduces their taste and odor. Furthermore, boiling bamboo shoots in rice water removes their astringent taste and oxalic acid.
