Step 1
Rinse the rice carefully, draining the water 3–4 times, until the water becomes clear.
Place the rinsed rice in a pot, level it out and pour water so that it covers the rice by 1–2 cm.

Step 2
Cook the rice over medium heat until all the water has evaporated.
When the water disappears, make several indentations on the surface of the rice with a wooden stick or fork, reaching to the bottom of the pot.
Pour 1–2 tablespoons of hot water into each indentation — this will prevent burning.
