How can I make my red rice soft as after 45minutes it's still quite hard? -
Did any of you add seasoning to the rice? I am cooking this for the first time and I don't want it to come out bland. -
Hi...I want to know if I should be soaking the red rice before cooking ? If yes then for how long ? Plus should I boil the water separately and then add rice to it? Regards Nupur

It was my first time cooking red rice and it was great. The texture was perfect. Thanks Alex :) Made for All you can cook buffet -
The rice turned out perfectly cooked. This was the first time I prepared red rice alone and not in combination with other grains. It gave me the opportunity to appreciate its flavor and color. PS I used grapeseed oil and let the rice rest a full fifteen minutes. Thank you for posting the recipe. cg -
Just made this red rice today. Perfect, even with my partner lifting the lid by accident, I just let it sit and complete cooking and let it rest 10 min. FLUFFY AND DELICIOUS RICE!

Well I tried it in my clay pot for the first time after seeing this recipe and did not add any oil. The red rice was fluffy and separated in other words was cooked perfectly. I got mine from miriamsearthencookware.com and the pots got a great job cooking. I also tried cooking brown rice in my clay pot and results were the same. Most importantly it holds all the nutrients in the food and I don't have to worry about metals or chemicals getting into my food. -
I used Sesame Oil instead, and my rice turns out to be fragrant and delicious!!!
