To prepare SE Grocers Enriched Medium Grain White Rice, begin by rinsing the grains under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch. Combine one part rice with two parts water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures evenly cooked, fluffy rice ready for serving.
