Cooking the Rice

Rinse the Rice

Cook the Rice
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Simmer
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let it cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, stirring occasionally.
