Recipe Tips

  • Use a large saucepan with a lid to prevent the rice from boiling over.
  • Do not lift the lid while the rice is cooking, as this will release the steam and affect the cooking time.
  • Let the rice sit for 5 minutes after cooking to allow the grains to absorb any remaining liquid.
