1

Rinse: Put the rice into a bowl. Pour filtered water and rinse the rice. Throw away the water after 10 seconds.
2

Wash: pour some filtered water into the rice. Use your hand and rub the rice with each other by making circular motion in the bowl. This removes any leftover barn remains on the surface.
3

Fill the bowl with water. The water will be cloudy at first. Throw away the water and repeat step 2 and 3 until the water less cloudy.
Note: the rice doesn’t have to be completely clear. The cloudier the water, the tougher the rice will be. Moreover, the bran also contain some good nutrients.

Soak: after washing the rice. Pour filtered water into the bowl and let it sit and soak for 30 minutes (summer time) or 60 minutes (winter time). When soaking is done, the rice should turn white in colour.

Drain the water. Pour the rice into a clay pot. Pour 1.2 cups of water.

When the water is boiling, turn the heat down to medium and let it cook for 5 minutes.
