Langkah-langkah

Check rice type: This recipe is for the following white rice types: long grain, medium grain, short grain (excluding sushi rice). See separate recipes for: basmati, jasmin and brown rice.
DO NOT RINSE your rice (read intro above for why).
Bring to simmer - Place water and rice in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Once the entire surface of the water is bubbling gently(and it gets a bit foamy, see video), turn heat down to low and cover with lid.
Cook 13 minutes - Cook for 13 minutes. Do not stir, do not remove lid. Water should now all be absorbed - tilt to check.
Rest - Remove from stove, still with lid, and leave for 10 minutes.
Fluff - Remove lid, fluff with rice paddle or fork, and serve!
Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan forced).
Pot - Use a small casserole pot about 24cm/10" wide with a lid. (Note 4)
Bake 35 minutes - Place boiling water and rice in pot, cover with lid and bake for 35 minutes.
Rest & fluff - Remove from oven, and leave for 10 minutes with the lid still on. Remove lid, fluff with rice paddle or fork, and serve! (Makes 6 cups)
Place rice and boiling water in tall microwave proof container (Note 5).
Microwave on high for 12 minutes with NO LID (1100 - 1200W microwaves).
Rest & fluff - Remove, cover with lid, leave for 10 minutes. Remove lid, fluff with rice paddle or fork, and serve!
