👨‍🍳 Method

For the Cooked rice

1. 1
   Add the rice and stir 2 minutes, until all the grains are coated in fat.

   💡Fry the rice in fat before adding the liquid: each grain gets coated, and the grains don't stick together.
2. 2
   Add the boiling water, season with salt and black pepper and bring to a boil.

   Stove
3. 3
   Turn down to low, cover and simmer 18 minutes without opening the lid, until the liquid is absorbed.

   💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
4. 4
   Turn off the heat and leave covered 5–10 minutes.

   💡Don't open the lid during cooking: the steam is what cooks the top layer. A towel between the pot and the lid absorbs the drips, so the rice doesn't get soggy.
5. 5
   Divide the rice among the bowls.
