"Try basmati rice instead of easy cook - it really adds to the flavour of the dish.. for best results cook one measure of rice to one measure of water, put the lid on and cook on a low heat for ten minutes and then switch of the heat (leaving the lid on) and let it steam for a further 3-5 minutes. The trick with this method is not to stir the rice during the cooking process as it will become sticky. You will find you can fluff the rice up with a fork after it's cooked - there's no draining or rinsing involved, which means the rice keeps it's flavour. "
