1. Pour the rice into a sieve. Stirring with a large spoon, run cold water over the rice until the draining water is clear. Drain thoroughly and transfer the rice to a heavy 2-to 3-quart saucepan.
|
2. Add 1˝ cups of cold water and let the rice soak undisturbed for 30 minutes. Then bring to a boil over moderate heat, cover the pan tightly and cook for about 10 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
|
3. Reduce the heat to its lowest point and simmer the rice undisturbed for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice rest, still in its covered pan, for 5 more minutes.
|
4. Remove the lid from the pan and fluff the rice gently with chopsticks or a fork to separate the grains. Serve the hot rice at once.
|
5. To reheat left over rice, place it in a colander and set the colander over 1˝ inches of boiling water in a large, heavy pot. Cover the pot tightly, and steam the rice for about 5 minutes.
