Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the long-grain white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents it from becoming gummy.
- 2
Soak the Beans (if using dried)
If using dried black beans, soak them in water overnight. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them before use.
