To make the rice, first put your desired amount of rice into a cooking pot and fill the pot with water so that the water just about covers the rice. (Do not use too much rice because it will expand in the water.) Leave the rice to soak for half an hour.

Drain the rice and re-put it into the cooking pot with water so that again it just covers the rice, and leave to cook until the water boils.
