To prepare, rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring the grains cook up fluffy and separate. For every cup of rice, use approximately 1.5 to 2 cups of water or broth. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
How it differs from similar foods
