Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Stirring occasionally can help prevent sticking. The exact cooking time will be indicated on the package, usually around 15-20 minutes. You can also adapt it for microwave preparation.
