I use this technique all the time. Saves on prep time during meal preparation, and from boil overs

Ingredients

Step 1

Wash rice. That means cover with water, stir around, ( water will be cloudy) pour off water and do this until when stirred, it stays mostly clear, ( at least 4 times)

Step 2

cover rice with clean water and let soak 2 hours or over night
Step 3

When ready to cook. Change water and place rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil
Step 4

boil 4 or 5 minutes, place a tight fitting lid on saucepan and turn heat off.
Step 5

keep lid on until ready to serve. water may be absorbed. If rice cools down, pour some water over it and heat on again. I used to boil OVER rice all the time and panic it wasn't ready when my accompanent dish was. Hope this helps someone out in this "cooking " world
