To prepare this rice, typically you would rinse the grains under cold water to remove excess starch. Then, combine the rice with a measured amount of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. The cooking time can vary, but it is generally around 15 to 20 minutes. Once cooked, let it steam, covered, off the heat for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork.
How it differs from similar foods
Long grain rice, like this variety, cooks up drier and more separate than short or medium grain rice. Medium grain rice tends to be more tender and moist, while short grain rice is often sticky and is used for dishes like sushi. The enrichment process also distinguishes it by adding back specific nutrients.
