1

Prepare water in a bowl, and put some rice into it. Mix them a few times from the bottom, throw out the water immediately.
2

Rinse the rice about twenty times to stir inside the bowl gently.
3

Then throw out the water. Rinse it 2 more times. And soak it for about 30 minutes until it becomes opaque white. Then, drain the water.
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.
