Instructions
Step 1
Put rice into a medium pot. Cover with cold water and swish rice around with your hand until water clouds. Drain and repeat process 3–4 times until water remains clear.
Step 2
Drain rice again, return to pot, add water, and boil over medium-high heat, uncovered, until liquid barely covers rice, about 7–10 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Turn off heat and allow rice to sit, covered, for 5–10 minutes before serving.
