Hello Courtney, the only way your rice would come out soupy is if you used instant rice and not long or short grain. I never cook with instant rice the reason it takes 17 plus minutes to cook. The recipe calls for the same amount of liquid that’s on the rice package. I only added butter and lemon juice. If you’re using instant rice I would suggest you follow the rice making directions and then when the rice is cooked stir in melted butter and lemon juice to prevent having gummy rice. I hope this helps.

In your recipe it says to add all those ingredients to the water. But that can’t be right because my rice is extra soupy

Hello Jazmine, yes.

Hello Anna, the water amount should be on the rice package. I use 4 1/2 cups water to 3 cups rice.

Hi Kari, I actually love long grain brown rice. I think it’s taste better than white rice but my family disagrees that’s why I always use the white rice. It will be fine to sub brown for white. They even make brown jasmine rice.
