Method
Rinse the rice in several changes of cold water, swirling gently with your hand, until the water runs almost clear.
Drain the rice well and place it in a saucepan with the water.
Leave the rice to soak in the water for 20 minutes.
Cover, bring to the boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to very low and cook for 12 minutes without lifting the lid.
Remove from the heat and leave to steam, still covered, for 10 minutes.
Fluff the rice gently with a rice paddle or fork before serving.
