However, the instructions stated below must be followed. • Rice bran has already been removed from rinse-free rice, thus the amount of rinse-free rice will be more than usual if it is measured with the measuring cup provided. ➝ Add slightly more water than usual to see how the rinse-free rice is cooked. Then adjust the amount of water to suit your taste in the future. • Rinse-free rice sometimes does not mix well with water. ➝ Stir from the bottom gently before cooking. When water is added, the water will become slightly whitish due to dissolved starch from the rice. If rice becomes more brownish than usual or there is an unpleasant smell, rinse the rice slightly with water. 8
