Thanks, I had a look at that article – well, via the googlewebcache, thespruceeats.com itself is a bit of a non-consensual cookie nightmare – and a couple of things ring a real bell. Firstly, the different texture, which potentially explains why it was never getting to the LG rice one I was expecting. Secondly – and this one really surprises me – the longer cooking time! So I suppose it makes sense that it’s longer-still using absorption, and I wasn’t correlating the cooking times given on this one (15m) with whatever the non-EC version said.
I’m definitely still having to use more water, though. Might be the longer cooking time and a loose pot lid, perhaps…
