Before cooking, rinse thoroughly in a sieve under cold running water. Measure the desired quantity of rice, 1 cup/250g (8oz) of uncooked rice provides 4 generous portions.
Quick Preparation
1. Fill a large saucepan with approximately four times as much water as rice (by volume). Add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
2. Add the rice, stir once and bring back to the boil. Boil rapidly uncovered for approximately 10 minutes, or until rice is tender.
3. Drain well before serving.
Traditional Preparation
1. Put twice as much water as rice (by volume) in a large saucepan with a pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
2. Add the rice, stir once and bring back to the boil. Reduce heat to simmer, replacing lid.
3. Allow the rice to cook for 15 minutes without disturbing.
4. If the liquid is not completely absorbed, cook for a few minutes longer.
5. Remove from heat and allow pan to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Alternatively, for a softer grain pre-soak rice for 15 minutes, but then use only one and a half times as much water as rice (by volume) when cooking.
