The rice is usually parboiled or pre-cooked to reduce the overall cooking time.

To prepare, you typically combine the contents of the package with a specific amount of water and butter or oil in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. This usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Stirring occasionally can help ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. Once cooked, fluff with a fork before serving.
