What it is

How people cook with it
Rice is a versatile ingredient found in kitchens around the world. It serves as a foundation for countless meals.

To prepare, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with the recommended amount of water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it steam, covered, for a few minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork. This method ensures each grain cooks evenly and remains distinct.
