3. Add Ricemate. Stir it in as the rice starts to cook. Use the amount shown on the pack.

4. Cover and cook. Turn the heat to low and keep the lid on until the rice is soft and the water is gone.

5. Taste. Check the taste before adding any extra salt or seasoning.

6. Serve. Add a protein like chicken, fish, egg, or beans for a full meal.
