Mixed rice typically takes about 35–45 minutes to cook on the stovetop. The exact time can vary depending on the types of grains included and whether the rice has been soaked beforehand. Soaking for 20–30 minutes can help reduce cooking time and improve the texture.

Yes, mixed rice can be easily cooked in a rice cooker. Use slightly more water than you would for white rice (around 2.5 cups water for 1 cup rice), and select the “brown rice” or “multigrain” setting if available. This ensures the grains cook evenly and achieve the right texture.
Soaking is optional but recommended. Soaking the rice for 20–30 minutes can help soften the grains, reduce cooking time, and improve overall texture. It also helps the grains cook more evenly, especially when multiple types are included in the blend.
