    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear; drain well.

  2. 2

    Optional: soak the rinsed rice in cold water for 15-20 minutes to help achieve a softer texture, then drain.

  4. 4

    Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
