To prepare this rice, typically you would rinse it under cold water to remove excess starch. Then, combine the rice with the recommended amount of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. This usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving to separate the grains.
How it differs from similar foods
Medium grain rice differs from long grain rice by its shorter, wider kernels. It tends to be more moist and tender when cooked, with a slight stickiness that makes it good for dishes where grains should cling together. Short grain rice is even plumper and stickier.
