To prepare, typically one cup of rice is rinsed thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. Then, combine the rinsed rice with two cups of water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. This method yields perfectly cooked, separate grains.
