  5. Then add salt, cover and cook until rice is soft (it should take up to 45 minutes but mine took only 28) and all liquid is absorbed. If liquid is absorbed but rice isn't cooked, feel free to add more water

  6. Take off heat but keep covered for 10 minutes

  7. I serve my rice with this :) Enjoy!
