What it is

How people cook with it
Rice is a versatile base for many dishes. It can be served as a side or incorporated into main courses.
- Side dish for curries
- Base for stir-fries
- Filling for stuffed peppers
- Component of rice pudding
To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch. 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 typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. For added flavor, consider cooking it in broth instead of water.
