How to cook Japanese rice without a rice cooker

Ingredients

For 1 person

150g Japanese rice
180ml water

For 2 to 3 people

300g Japanese rice
360ml water
NOTE : If you like a bit harder rice, then add 170ml water instead of 180ml.

Instructions

1. Wash the rice and drain well.
2. Transfer rice and pour water into a large cooking pot. Cover and cook over high heat, bring it to a boil. Once it boiled then, simmer (over the lowest heat) for 12 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and let it steam for 10 to 12 minutes (do not open the lid yet.)
