To cook, rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with the appropriate amount of water in a pot, typically a 1:2 ratio of rice to water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Let it steam, covered, for an additional 5 minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures fluffy, separate grains.
