To prepare this rice, you typically rinse the grains under cold water to remove excess starch. Then, combine the rice with a specific amount of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot tightly, and cook 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.
