Cooking Tips

• Water to Rice Ratio: For optimal texture, always add one extra cup of water than rice. Maintain this balance (e.g., 3 cups rice, 4 cups water).
• Salt Adjustment: Ensure the water is slightly saltier than typical taste as the rice absorbs and tempers the salt.
• Low Heat Steaming: Essential for fluffy rice; avoid stirring during the steaming period.
