Instead of Short-grain rice
RiceUse the same weight; rinse well and cook with slightly less water than short-grain rice, checking often. Texture will be less sticky.
Broken riceUse the same weight but reduce water by about 10%; it cooks faster and gives a softer, stickier result.
Parboiled riceUse the same weight; soak for 30 minutes and allow 10–15 minutes longer cooking. It is firmer and less creamy.
