GRADES

It is important to wash the rice with cold water before cooking it.

The amount of water is usually 1 cup of water to 1 cup of rice, but this ratio can vary depending on the rice and its freshness. When it does change, it is usually to add more water, never less water.

To refrigerate rice, containers that do not allow air flow are recommended so that it does not harden.
