- Put the rice into a saucepan, preferably one with a thick bottom (Use a pot if making a large quantity). Pour in cold water until it’s about 2 cm/ ¾ inch above the rice. This doesn’t need to be precise - stick your finger in to the top of the rice and the water should be at the first knuckle.
- Turn on the stove. Cook the rice UNCOVERED over medium heat until the water reduces to be level with the rice (you’d also see some holes in the rice).
- Turn down the heat to the lowest and immediately cover the pot with a well-fitting lid. Set a timer to 12 minutes and leave to cook.
- When the time is up, remove the saucepan from the stove. Leave to sit for a further 5 minutes (Do not open the lid).
