Instructions

Measure the rice into a cup and level the top.
Rinse the rice in a fine mesh sieve thoroughly in cold water until the water is clear.
Pour the rice into a saucepan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle with salt, then add the water and bring mixture to a simmer uncovered, about 5 minutes.
Using a wooden spoon, stir the rice in the pan to evenly distribute it, but don’t over stir.
Lower the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook for 18 minutes without opening the lid. Then turn the heat off.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the rice to rest covered for 5 minutes in order to absorb all the liquid and steam.
Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains, and serve.
