| 1 | Cook the rice in boiling salted water about 10 minutes | 10 min |

| 3 | Ahead of time, wash the casing well in water and vinegar, clean and set aside | 3 min |
| 4 | Stuff the casing with the mixture without packing it all the way, because the rice swells, and tie both ends with string | 1 min |

| 6 | Turn down to low and simmer 1 hour | 1 hr |
| 7 | Remove, cut into slices and serve hot | 5 min |
How to Tell It's Done
- until parboiled, and drain
- until evenly combined
Tips
- Stuff only about three-quarters full: the rice absorbs the cooking water and swells, and an overstuffed osban bursts in the pot.
Common Mistakes
- The water should taste like a seasoned soup, not like sea water: a heaping teaspoon of salt per liter. Add the salt once the water is boiling.
- A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
More Ways
- For a cup of rinsed rice: chopped meat and offal, a bunch of cilantro and a bunch of parsley, onion and paprika, in at least a meter and a half of intestine.
- Stuff gently without packing, because the rice swells as it cooks, and tie both ends with string.
