Tips on making delicious rice

See page 14 for preparations before cooking rice,
and pages 16, 17, and 18 for rice cooking
instructions.
Select high quality rice and store
it in a cool location.
Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a uniform
grain size. Store in a cool, dark, well ventilated
location.
Carefully measure
the rice with the
supplied
measuring cup.
One cup equals about 5.29
oz (0.18 L) .
Use the supplied
measuring cup for rinse-free rice as well.
Wash the
rice quickly.
Stir the rice around
with your hand in a
generous amount of
water, pour out the
water, and repeat
until the water
remains clear.
When cooking semi-polished
rice, whole rice, rice boiled with
barley, germinated brown rice,
and rice mixed with grains, select
the "Plain" menu.
When cooking mixed grain with white rice, place
the mixed grain on top of the white rice.
There may be more scorched rice than when
compared to polished rice.
Cooking rinse-free rice
Add the rinse-free rice and water, and then stir well
from the bottom so that every individual grain of
rice becomes immersed in the water.(Merely
adding water to the rice will prevent it from soaking
in the water and may result in improperly cooked
rice.)
If the added water turns white, we recommend you
wash the rice thoroughly by replacing the water
once or twice.(The water turning white is due to the
starch in the rice and not its bran; however,
cooking it with the starch left in the water may
result in burnt rice, the contents boiling over, or
improperly cooked rice.)
Add water according to the type of
rice and your personal preference.
If you choose to use more or less water than the
recommended amount, do not deviate from that
amount by any more than 1/3 of one line.

For rinse-free rice, make sure the water is added up to
slightly over the scale (with the line just covered by the
surface of the water).
When cooking semi-polished rice, whole rice, rice boiled
with barley, germinated brown rice, and rice mixed with
grains, use the "Plain" scale as a reference.
If the amount of water to add is specified on a package of
germinated brown rice or multigrain rice, follow those
directions and add water according to your personal
preference.
Adding other ingredients to the
rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no more
than 2.5 oz (70 g) per cup of rice. Stir in any
seasoning well and then add the extra ingredients on
top of the rice. If other ingredients are to be added to
the rice, be sure to use no more than the acceptable
maximum amount (see the following table).
