About Korean short-grain rice

Korean short-grain rice is a short-grained rice used as a staple, typically cooked with water and served as rice. The cooked grains are moist and cling together more readily than long-grain rice, with a mild flavour that suits everyday meals.

It is sold as milled white rice and may also be available as brown rice or in mixed-grain forms. The exact cultivar and milling level are not established by this general name, and both can affect cooking behaviour and texture.
