Notes
- Rinsing the rice - This is optional, however I personally stand by it and find it removes excess starch, preventing the grains from becoming too sticky
- Follow the ratio - the most important step, measure correctly for the right texture
- Taste the rice - After the 12 minute timer goes off, take a quick peak and taste the rice. All rice brands and stoves are different so its best to always taste incase
