Ingredients
Preparation
-
Place rice in HexClad Rice Pot. Add enough filtered water to cover rice. Shape fingers into a claw and gently swish rice. Tilt pot and discard cloudy water. Repeat this process 2 to 3 times. Drain rice in a fine-mesh strainer.
-
Return rice to HexClad Rice Pot and add filtered water. Cover and soak 30 minutes in summer or 1 hour in winter. If you are using new crop rice, soak for 30 minutes.
-
Bring to a boil over medium-high until water reaches a rolling boil and large bubbles are visible through glass lid, 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Reduce heat to low and cook until water has evaporated, 12 to 15 minutes. Do not remove lid. Turn off heat and let rice steam for 10 minutes with lid on.
-
Remove lid. Using a wet spatula, fluff rice.
