  1. 1

    Rinse until the water runs clear.

    Surface starch is what makes rice gluey. Three or four changes of water is enough.

  2. 2

    Use the right ratio.

    One part rice to one and a half parts water for white long grain. Brown rice takes two.

  3. 3

    Boil, then drop to the lowest heat.

    Lid on the moment it boils, and leave it alone. Every lift lets the steam out.

  4. 4

    Time it and rest it.

    Twelve minutes for white, then ten minutes off the heat with the lid still on.

  5. 5

    Fluff with a fork.

    Never a spoon. A fork separates the grains instead of crushing them.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
