Long grained rice, including Jasmine and Basmati rice, is cooked, unwashed, in a ratio of 2:1, water:rice. Sushi and most other short grained rice is washed first, sometimes drained for up to a half hour, and sometimes soaked. Because of those processes, the rice requires less water, usually equal parts water and rice, or, perhaps a little more.

These instructions are specifically for a rice cooker. Rice cookers detect the temperature of the rice so that when the water almost completely boils off, the automatic cooker turns off. The steamed rice should remain in the cooker covered for at least ten minutes so that the remaining moisture is absorbed.

The answer is 2:1. Twice as much water as rice. The rice absorbs the water as cooks, softens and plumps.

Personally I find that my rice is easier to cook and the outcome guaranteed if the rice stays totally free to move around in the water until it is done. It always comes out loose and fluffy.

Should you take out water when you cook rice?

Usually when you cook rice it's cooked until the grains have absorbed all the water you have added. If you've added too much water then it would be ok to drain the extra water as long as the rice is tender. If you're cooking long grain white rice, use the ratio of 1 cup of rice to 2 cups water, then cook 'til all water is gone.
