HELPFUL HINts
• Although the rice measuring cup holds about 5 ounces of uncooked rice; the
cooked rice is given in 8-ounce cup measures.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using
kosher salt, you may find you want to add a little more than if using table salt.
Use about ¾ tsp. Kosher salt to each cup of uncooked rice.
• White rice should be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
• Brown rice has a limited shelf life; store it for no more than 1 month before
using.
• Try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for additional
flavor. If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.
