The Three Main Types of Rice

Long-Grain Rice

Long-grain rice has a length that is at least three to five times its width. The two most popular and well-known long-grain rice varieties are basmati and jasmine. When prepared properly (always thoroughly rinse your rice in several changes of clean water), long-grain rice should cook up fluffy, tender, and the least bit clumpy.

Medium-Grain Rice

Medium-grain rice is usually fluffy and moist just after cooking, but clumps and solidifies as it cools. It creates a creamy consistency ideal for risotto.

Short-Grain Rice

Short-grain rice is round, chubby, and starchy that swell and stick together in clumps. Often referred to as glutinous thanks to its glue-like or sticky texture, short-grain rice is best eaten with chopsticks – or even your hands – and is often found in sweet desserts, sticky rice, and sushi.

Basics of Cooking Rice

  1. Combine 1 cup rice, liquid (see chart below), 1 teaspoon salt (optional), and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine (optional) in a 2 to 3-quart saucepan.
  2. Heat to boiling; stir once or twice as it begins to boil. Lower heat to a simmer; cover with a tight-fitting lid.
  3. Cook according to time specified on chart. If rice is not quite tender or liquid is not absorbed, replace lid and cook 2 to 4 minutes longer. Stir and serve.
  • As a general rule, 1 cup of uncooked rice will equal about 3 cups of cooked rice.
  • Leftover rice can be used later in the week to make fried rice or chicken rice casserole.
