🍽️ How to Cook

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

(Optional) Soak for 20–30 minutes before cooking to lengthen the grains and achieve an even fluffier result.

Use a ratio of 1 part rice to 1.5–2 parts water (depending on your preferred softness).

Simmer over low heat until the rice absorbs the water.

Let it sit, covered, for a few minutes, then gently separate the grains with a fork.

💡 Tip: Soaking the rice before cooking helps produce even longer, more separated grains.
