How to cook red rice

• Use 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water (190g/6¾oz rice to 480ml/16fl oz water).
• Put the rice and water in a saucepan, bring to the boil, then simmer gently for about 30 minutes, uncovered, until you have a soft finish but still with a little bite.
• Strain, if necessary, then fluff up the grains with a fork.

However, the absorption method works very well too, simmering for 25 minutes, then leaving the grain to stand for 20 minutes.
