Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed by the rice.

Leave the saucepan on the burner, turn off the heat, and let the rice steam for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until sticky and tender.
