🍽️ How to cook

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

(Optional) Soak for 15–20 minutes to improve the fluffiness of the grains.

Use a ratio of 1 part rice to approximately 1.8–2 parts water.

Cook over medium heat for 12–14 minutes, until the rice absorbs the water.

Let stand, covered, for about 5 minutes, then separate with a fork and serve.

💡 Tip: Soaking before cooking can further improve the grain structure and separation after cooking.
