Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to rinse the rice with cold water until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
  • Don't stir the rice too much while it's cooking or you risk breaking the grains and making it mushy.
  • If the rice is still undercooked after the liquid has been absorbed, add a little more water and continue cooking until tender.
  • For added flavor, you can add a teaspoon of ginger or curry powder to the recipe.
