To prepare, you typically combine the contents of the package with 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 helps ensure even cooking and prevents sticking. The corn kernels soften and integrate into the fluffy rice.
