Method:

1. Put the rice in a pan with water. Swirl the grains with your fingers until the water becomes cloudy, then drain. Repeat this a few times before draining in a strainer.

2. Return the rice and water to the the pan. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes over a low heat.

3. When the rice is cooked, turn off the heat, but keep the lid on the pan for 5 more minutes. All the water should have been absorbed and the rice should be sticky.
