To prepare this rice, you will typically rinse the grains under cold water to remove excess starch.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving. It can also be cooked in a rice cooker.
