Hi, I'm making gravy. The recipe calls for 6 cups of chicken broth (plus other ingredients) and says to simmer for an hour and a half. I'm making 1/3 of the recipe, which means I am simmering 2 cups of broth. Do I simmer for 30 minutes only? Thanks!

Hi,

I've been trying to make fried rice using brown rice cooked in the Zojirushi micom rice maker, but the texture isn't quite right (too soft), even after refrigeration for a day or so. Can anyone share their perfect water/brown rice proportions with me? Also, does long- or short-grain brown rice work better for fried rice?

Thanks!

Julie
