For Rice
Wash the rice in a strainer under cold water until all the dirt comes out, at least 3-4 times.
Now put them in a bowl and cover with warm water. Let soak for 1-2 hours.
In a deep pan bring water and salt to a boil.
Add the rice and let boil for 7-8 minutes until they are done when you bite into one.
Drain and put them back in the pot. Put the lid on and let sit on very low heat for 5-10 minutes to steam them.
This prevents mushiness and results in super tender rice.
Serve warm. Enjoy!!
