Method
0 of 3 done- Put the rice in a sieve and rinse under cold running water, changing the water several times, until it runs clear. Drain well.
- Tip the rice into a wide, heavy-based pan (about 4-litre) and pour in the water. Set over a high heat and bring to the boil. Boil uncovered, without stirring, until small holes appear on the surface and the grains look dry – this takes 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the heat down as low as possible, cover with a snug lid, and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and leave it to stand, still covered, for another 5 minutes.
- Use a fork to lift and separate the grains, then serve.
