To prepare this rice, typically one part rice is combined with two parts water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures evenly cooked grains.
