To cook, rinse the rice under cold water. Combine one part rice with two parts water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures the rice cooks evenly and retains its texture.
