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

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

Instructions

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.
