Method
- Measure ½ cup of rice per person, then wash the rice until rinsing water is clear.

- Cover pot with lid and allow to cook slowly and undisturbed until done.
- Never, never stir the rice and never look at rice during the first 20 minutes of cooking.
- If the rice on the top is flaky and cooked through and if natural steam holes are formed in the dull dry surface of the snow-white mound of individual grains of rice, then the rice is ready.
