To prepare, you typically empty the contents into a saucepan. Add the specified amount of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for a set duration, usually around 15 to 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. It is ready to serve after resting for a few minutes.
