What is a good ratio for rice pilaf?
I tend to like Swanson and Imagine. For rice pilaf, we do a 2 cups rice to 3 cups liquid ratio. That’s right: the amount of liquid and ratio for pilaf is different than regular steamed rice. You don’t need as much liquid when you’re toasting the grains beforehand in oil, and adding more will give you mushy rice and a bloated end result.
