To cook this rice, begin by rinsing the grains under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch. Combine one part rice with two parts water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. It can also be cooked in a rice cooker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
