Note: Rinse once to remove surface starch.
Stovetop: Bring to boil uncovered, then cover, reduce to lowest heat, don’t lift lid. Rest 10 min off heat before fluffing.
Rice cooker: Use the manufacturer’s line for that specific rice type if available — some cookers over-steam brown rice with standard ratios.
