Introduction

Rice is considered a staple food in many cultures. Rice comes in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. It takes about 20 minutes for rice to cook through, so you’ll need to plan ahead when serving this delicious dish at your next dinner party.

Rice takes a long time to cook.

Rice is a staple of many cultures, and it’s easy to see why. Rice is an excellent source of protein, vitamins and minerals. It can be used in many ways–from side dishes like fried rice or pilafs to desserts like rice pudding or tapioca puddings. It’s also fairly inexpensive compared to some other grains, which makes it ideal for those on a budget or who are just starting out in their cooking adventures!

Rice has been cultivated since at least 7500 B.C., but its exact origins are unknown because there are so many different types used worldwide (more than 100!). Most people think that the plant originated in India because that country still produces most of today’s supply; however there are wild varieties found throughout Asia as well as North America where they were grown by Native Americans before Columbus arrived on this continent!

Long grain rice (for example, basmati) takes 15-20 minutes of cooking time.

Long grain rice is longer and thinner than other types of rice. It’s best for salads, pilafs and stuffing. But don’t try to use long grain rice in sushi or risotto; those dishes require a shorter-grain variety of the plant that’s more starchy and sticky.

Medium grain rice (for example, jasmine and brown) takes 15-20 minutes of cooking time.

• Medium grain rice (for example, jasmine and brown) takes 15-20 minutes of cooking time.
• Jasmine rice takes about 20 minutes to cook.
• It takes more time for the rice to absorb the water than it does for long-grain or short-grain varieties of rice because they have less starch in them and therefore don’t swell as much when cooked. The water should be boiling when you add it to your pot or pan so that it doesn’t burn on its way up from boiling temperature into your pot/pan where you’re cooking with an induction stovetop burner.*

Short grain rice (for example, sushi rice) takes 15-20 minutes of cooking time.

Short grain rice is a sticky variety of rice that’s used in sushi and other dishes. It takes longer to cook than long grain varieties, but once you have the right technique, it’s easy to make.

The first step is to rinse the uncooked short grain rice in a colander under cold running water until the water runs clear. Next, place your pot over high heat with 1 cup of water per cup of uncooked short grain rice (so if you want two cups cooked, use 2 cups total). Bring the pot up to a boil then cover with its lid for 15-20 minutes or until all liquid has been absorbed by your grains which should be soft at this point! Voila! Your perfect pot o’ sushi ready for rolling!

It may take less time if you cook the rice with water and then add broth or other ingredients later.

It may take less time if you cook the rice with water and then add broth or other ingredients later.

For example, if you’re making sushi rolls, you can start by cooking your rice in water. When it’s done, drain off any remaining liquid and add your favorite sushi fillings–then roll up each piece for serving!

If this sounds like an appealing way to make your own homemade sushi at home, here are some other tips:

Keep in mind that the amount of water needed for the type of rice you’re using will affect how long it will take to cook.

You may be surprised to learn that the amount of water needed for your rice can affect how long it takes to cook. The more water you use, the longer your rice will take to cook–and vice versa.

If you’re using a standard pan on your stovetop and not using a rice cooker (which has its own built-in settings), then this is something you’ll want to keep in mind as well. If you use too much water or too little, it could result in undercooked or overcooked grains!
