Here's a traditional way to cook rice.

Always rinse the rice
before cooking. Place the rice in a large bowl and fill it with tap water.
Stir the rice with
your hand a few times and then drain the water right away, being careful
not to scatter the rice. Repeat two times.
Drain off the water
and let the rice stand on a sieve for about 30 minutes. This is to let
the rice absorb the water on its surface so that it cooks soft and moist. |

(for
two to three servings)
Now stir the rice again, this time with less water in the bowl, squeezing
the rice in the palm of your hand as you stir. Change the water periodically
until all the rice shavings have been washed off and the water stays
clear even when stirred.
