What it is

To prepare, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully place the sealed rice bag into the boiling water, ensuring it is fully submerged. Let the bag simmer for the time indicated on the packaging, typically around 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, use tongs to carefully remove the hot bag from the water. Allow it to rest for a minute before opening. Cut open the bag and gently shake the rice onto a plate or into your dish. The bag itself is not meant to be eaten.
