Rice as Cooked in Japan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of rice ( but you can use any mount of rice you desire)
  • Cold water
  • 1/4 tsp of salt (for every 1 to 2 cups of uncooked rice use 1/4 tsp. of salt as the necessary measurement when boiling rice)

Directions

  1. Measure and pour desired amount of rice inside a pot with a close fitting lid.
  2. Pour on just enough cold water to prevent the rice from burning to the pot. 
  3. Based on the measurement for the salt listed in Ingredients, add the salt to the rice.  
  4. Set the the pot on a medium fire. The rice is steamed rather than boiled until it is nearly done.
  5. Then take off the cover of the pot and allow the surplus steam and water to escape.
