Posted On December 7, 2019

The cooking directions below are for white rice cooked firm, typically using long grain rice.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 ¾ cup of water
• 1 cup of long grain white rice (we use Mahatma Parboiled Extra Long Grain Enriched Rice, especially for cooking it firm)

• 2 TSP of oil (we use Partners In Cooking Spectrum Culinary Organic Canola Oil)
• For fluffy rice: use 2 cups of water instead
