To prepare this rice, you typically combine a measured amount of rice with water or broth in a saucepan. The ratio of liquid to rice is important for achieving the desired texture. Once the liquid comes to a boil, the heat is reduced, and the rice is simmered, covered, until all the liquid is absorbed. It is then usually fluffed with a fork before serving. Some people prefer to rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch, which can result in a less sticky outcome.
