if you want to cook rice as how Filipinos eat rice, then the ratio is 1:1... turn down fire or heat to a minimum when you dont see water on top of cooked rice.... remaining water in below the surface will be enough to fully cook the grains.

2-4 cups to 1 cup of rice grains makes "lugaw"... that's a soup like consistency.

Answer:

After you wash the rice a few times to remove the fines, dust and loose starch (stops it from being sticky when cooked) there is some water left with it. Add 2.5 times the amount of water per measure of rice. After cooking the rice will still be moist. Let it sit and it will absorb the residual water.

The length of time you cook any volume of rice depends on the type of rice. If it is the typical 20-minute rice, you would cook it for 20 minutes. If it is a quick type of rice, you'd cook it 5 minutes or whatever time it says. The time you cook rice also depends on other factors such as altitude, whether the correct lid is used on the pot, etc. If you have a loose lid, for instance, you may have to add more water and cooking time.

Under perfect conditions, following the instructions on the bag should work, and you shouldn't remove the lid since that evaporates some of the water and may make it harder. But if it turns out to be sticky or runny (too much water content) or hard and dry (not enough water content), adjustments to the cooking time and/or amount of water may be necessary.
