Instructions
- Add the rice and water to a pot. Set it on the stove over medium heat and bring it to a boil. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
- Once the grains have swollen, look a little translucent, and are chewable but still firm, your rice is ready! Be careful not to over-boil it — too much water absorption can make the rice mushy.
- Finally, drain off the excess water through a strainer basket and serve.
