Notes

Although it may seem tedious, rinsing rice is necessary to remove excess starch that can cause stickiness. Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water until it runs clear.
You can enhance the flavor of your dish by substituting water with chicken or vegetable broth if desired.
For most rice varieties, the standard ratio is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water, which you can adjust based on your desired quantity.
