  • About
In this method the rice simmers slowly in a measured amount of water or stock in a covered pan and the rice should be cooked when the liquid has been absorbed and there are small holes between the grains.
Use the same measuring jug for the rice and water or stock. For long grain rice use double the amount of water or stock, 1¼-1½ times the amount of liquid for basmati and 2¼ times the amount of liquid for brown rice. Add any seasoning before cooking although basmati or Thai rices taste delicious unseasoned.
