To prepare this rice, typically you will 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, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork before serving. The exact water-to-rice ratio and cooking time can vary slightly depending on the specific product instructions.
