To prepare, rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch. Measure the rice and water, typically a 1:2 ratio of rice to water, though this can vary slightly. Bring the water and rice to a boil in a pot, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Let it steam, covered, for an additional 5 minutes off the heat before fluffing with a fork.
How it differs from similar foods
