Wash and soak the rice

• Wash the rice at least 3 times until the water runs clearer.
• Soak the rice in lukewarm water for a minimum of 30 minutes before cooking.

Boil the water

• Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way with water and bring it to a boil.
• Season with salt as you would when boiling pasta.

Boil the rice

• Drain the soaked rice and add it to the boiling water.
• Once the water comes back to a boil, boil for 5 minutes. The rice will still feel hard and uncooked, that's how it should be.

Steam the rice

• Strain the rice completely and return it to the pot.
• Place the pot on the smallest burner over the lowest flame, cover tightly and let the rice finish cooking in the steam for 10 minutes. Do not open the lid during this time.

Fluff and serve

• Remove the lid and fluff up the rice with a fork.
• Enjoy.
