Cook over very low heat – 15 min for white rice, 25 min for brown rice – OR until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to stand, covered, 3 to 5 min. Fluff with a fork before serving.
For firmer rice, reduce water and cooking time. For softer rice, increase water and cooking time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
