To prepare, typically measure out the desired amount of rice and rinse it under cold water. Combine the rinsed rice with the correct proportion of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it steam for a few minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures evenly cooked, separate grains.
How it differs from similar foods
Long grain rice cooks up fluffy and separate, unlike medium or short grain rice which can be stickier. The enrichment process adds back certain nutrients that are removed during milling, making it a more complete food source compared to unenriched white rice.
