Notes
Make sure you use long-grain, long cooking rice for this. A good way to tell is to look at the cooking instructions on the package. You want the package that tells you to bring the water to a boil and let it simmer for at least 15 minutes, NOT the package that says you can be done in 5 minutes in the microwave.
