Steps

1- Wash. Wash the rice in cold water until it runs clear.

2- Drain. Drain the rice and put into a medium saucepan.

3- Cool water. Pour in water so that it covers the rice by 1.5cm/5/8in. Add a generous pinch of salt.

4- Boil. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat so that the water is simmering.

5- Cover. Cover with a tight-fitting lid.

6- Separate. White rice will cook in 10-12 minutes. When ready to serve, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.

Tips

For a little colour to your rice and some subtle flavouring, try boiling in a little turmeric or paprika.
