I bought this rice blend without realizing it didn’t have cooking instructions. Does anyone know the water ratio/if this would need to be soaked before? The beans are throwing me off. Thank you!

FYI All rice cookers can handle this! Even the $20 aroma ones 🙂

Soak for 2 hours after washing. Cook with same ratio water to rice on “mixed” setting on cooker.

I’m not sure where I learned it but one hands thickness of water on top. It’s never been wrong for me but I use mostly short to medium grain rice.
I don’t see why this wouldn’t work after the soaking.

Between 1:1 and 1:1.5 rice and water. Measure the grains first then wash them and let them soak for about two hours, drain, then depending on how you know your rice cooker or preference use one to one and a half cups of water per each cup of your dry grain measurement.

Make sure to mix regular rice into this. 7 regular : 3 mixed grain is how I do it.

I buy this regularly and have made many “mistakes” along the way. You can do whatever you want with it and it’ll be fine. Cook it like normal rice, mix with some white rice, cook it on the stove, etc, it’ll come out fine so long as you’re used to cooking rice. Some tweaks for better textures and outcomes would be to soak it for 20 minutes or so before cooking if you’d like (not needed, however) or to mix with white rice in a ratio you want. I do a totally random ratio every time I cook and it always comes out fine. Adjust water ratio for your personal tastes if you find the texture too firm or soft.
