Rinse the rice in a bowl of cold tap water, use your fingers or a spoon to swirl the rice around to wash some of the starch away. Empty the rice into a colander and rinse with fresh water. Repeat a further 2 times.

Add the 2 cups of water to a medium saucepan. Add the rice to the water and stir it. Once the heat is on don't stir the rice.

Heat over medium-high heat and bring to a boiling point. Let the rice boil until some of the water has evaporated and the water level is now just below the rice level.

Turn the heat down to the lowest setting. Place a clean kitchen towel in between the pot and the lid to avoid steam escaping. Set a timer for 15 minutes.

Once the time is up turn the heat off completely and leave it for a further 10 minutes before removing the lid.

Using a fork fluff the rice and serve.
