To prepare, place a serving of cooked rice into a bowl. Empty the contents of one Ochazuke packet over the rice. Then, carefully pour hot water over the rice and packet contents. Stir gently until the dried ingredients are rehydrated and the flavors have melded. The heat from the water will cook the remaining elements and create a warm, flavorful broth that coats the rice. It is ready to eat immediately.
