Add the washed rice to a large pot

Add the measured water to the pot

Put the pot on the stove on medium to high heat with the lid on

Bring to a full boil and then reduce to low heat and allow to simmer

Stir the rice occasionally to ensure the grains don’t stick together

Continue cooking until the rice grains have broken down and the water has thickened. Approximately 45min-1hr.

Remove from the heat and stir well

Strain the water and discard the rice grains
