The measurements are for aged rice. If you are using new rice, the quantity of water and cooking time will vary.
Rinse the rice: It’s important to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch.
Soak the rice: Soaking the rice for 20-30 minutes before cooking can help it cook more evenly and become more fluffy.
Use the right ratio of water to rice.
Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice: Start by bringing the water to a boil in a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Once the water is boiling, add the rice and stir briefly.
Cook on low heat: Once the rice is added, lower the heat to the lowest setting and cover the pot with the lid.
Let it rest: After the rice is cooked, let it rest off the heat for 5-10 minutes. This will help the rice absorb any remaining moisture and become even more fluffy.
