To prepare this rice, typically you would rinse it 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 with a fork before serving. The exact water-to-rice ratio and cooking time can vary slightly depending on personal preference and the stovetop used.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to short or medium-grain rice, long-grain rice has a lower moisture content and a higher proportion of amylose starch. This structural difference causes the grains to cook up more separate and less sticky. Enriched rice has added nutrients, which is a common practice for this type of grain.
