  4. Prepare some water in a sauce pan, and place the rinsed rice.
    Cover with a lid and heat the pan over medium heat until it boils. Don't take off the lid while the rice is cooking this lets the steam out and affects the cooking time. When it boils, simmer for 2 minutes.

  5. Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for about 3 minutes: Turn the heat down to low and simmer again for about 6 minutes.

  6. After simmering for a total of 10~12 minutes, open the lid a little and check if moisture is absorbed.

  7. When all moisture is absorbed, heat the pot for about 15 seconds. Then turn off the heat and let stand 10 minutes, covered.
