Final Comments


Serves 4

*Different grains: long-grain rice is fluffy and separates easily. Medium grain is tender and becomes stickier as it cools. Short grain has a high starch content that makes it moist, tender and almost creamy.

*Healthy alternative: brown rice has only the outer hull removed, making it more nutritious than white rice.
