How people cook with it
Rice is a versatile grain that serves as a base for countless meals. It absorbs flavors well and can be paired with a wide variety of ingredients.
- Side dish for main courses
- Base for stir-fries

To prepare, typically rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Then, combine the rice with water or broth in a saucepan, usually a ratio of two parts liquid to one part rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until 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 grains.
