Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to rinse the rice before cooking to remove any excess starch.
  • Don't lift the lid while the rice is cooking as this allows steam to escape and can affect the cooking process.
  • Use a fork to fluff the rice as it separates the grains without crushing them.
  • If the rice is still undercooked after simmering, add a little bit more water and continue cooking until fully cooked.
