Notes

The rice in these photos was cooked with 2 cups liquid (it’s a bit drier and more fluffy). If you want it to be more sticky than this, use 2 1/2 cups! I like it both ways! If you’re not sure what you want, start with 2 cups of liquid and then when it’s done you can decide if you want to add a bit more water.
