1 – Washing
  • Cold water is essential. Stop when the water becomes clear.

  • We recommend the video “How to wash rice” by Zojirushi America on YouTube. 


2 – Cooking 
  • Pas de cuiseur spécial ? Mettez le riz dans une casserole avec 1,2 fois son volume en eau à feu moyen-vif.

  • When small "tunnels" appear on the surface of the rice, reduce to low heat, cover, and let cook for 12 minutes.

  • Turn off the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes. 

  • Remove the lid and stir the rice.


3 – 完成!It’s ready!
